V Star Classic

2012 V Star Classic

Nothing’s More Classic Than a Great Deal

Key Features:

  • Retro style is even cooler when it’s combined with modern engineering, including an SOHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive.
  • Rider floorboards, steel fenders, custom-looking clear turn signals, lots of chrome, etc. — the V Star Classic represents tremendous cruiser bang for the buck.
  • Rigid-look frame provides a great ride via a hidden rear shock with 3.9 inches of travel.
  • The V Star Classic achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 49 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.2 gallons of gas.

Engine:

  • Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance.
  • Forged, lightweight pistons. Greater durability and reduced vibration and reciprocating mass.
  • Efficient and quiet shaft drive. Requires almost no maintenance.
  • Ceramic-composite, cylinder-bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation. Offers better cooling and longer engine life.
  • Thick, cylnder cooling fins. Enhances the stylish look while increasing efficiency.
  • Dual, heated Mikuni® 28mm carburetors with a throttle position sensor (TPS) features a progressive pulley, electronic fuel pump and handy side-mounted air filter. Provides a consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev-range.
  • Wide-ratio five-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery to the asphalt.
  • Efficient and quiet shaft drive requires almost no maintenance.
  • Two-into-two chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling and deliver maximum low- and mid-range engine output.

Chassis/Suspension:

  • Stout, large-diameter steel frame is designed to provide low seat height with ample legroom.
  • Extra long 64-inch wheelbase produces a long, low, retro profle with spacious ergonomics for added rider and passenger comfort and predictable handling.
  • Stylish heel/toe shifter adds versatility and enhances overall cruising comfort.
  • Comfortably placed full-size rider floorboards enhance ride by minimizing vibration and fatigue.
  • Telescopic 43mm front fork with chromed covers and 5.5 inches of travel ensures a smooth ride with stylish durability.
  • Classic, rigid-look, link-type rear suspension serves up 3.9 inches of rear wheel travel damped by a hidden preload-adjustable shock.
  • Single front disc and rear drum brakes deliver strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
  • Wide, retro-style handlebars evoke classic design, with roomy ergonomics for enhanced rider comfort.
  • Fat front tire on wire-spoked wheel combines retro styling with solid handling and traction.

Additional Features:

  • Industry-leading Star family fit and finish features rich, lustrous paint and extensive chrome accents that create a stunningly timeless machine.
  • Deeply valanced steel front and rear fenders are both durable and unmistakably classic.
  • Large, 4.2-gallon teardrop fuel tank looks good and goes a long way.
  • Beautiful, tank-mounted speedometer is designed with a large face for easy reading of tripmeter/odometer displays and turn signal, neutral, high beam and engine diagnostic indicator lights.
  • Chrome 60/55-watt halogen headlight adds a nice, stylish touch and maximizes nighttime visibility.
  • Maintenance-free 12V 10AH battery ensures reliable, no-fuss starting.
  • Under seat helmet holder increases convenience for the rider.
  • Locking compartment under side cover. Secure storage for small items.
