Found this site on the R6 forum. Just got an '08 V-Star 250 for my wife to learn how to ride (I ride an R6), but I'm liking this little V-Star a lot, too! My first bike was a Virago 535 and I really liked it, so when she expressed an interest in riding I steered her to the Virago/V-Star line. She's diggin' it.

new v star silverado 1100
I am the very proud owner of the 2008 V Star silverado 1100, I have some questions from you pros. What fuel milage can I expect to get after the machine is broke up. Secondly is there anyway to increase the milage. Lastly, Where can I purchase, hats, jackets, coats, or protective equipment baring the V Star logo

Hello from Newbie-unie
Hi all. I've wanted to own and ride a motorcycle since I was 14.
So, I've finally got my endorcement and did a great deal of research
into training motorcycles.
I ordered a V Star 250 09 model just yesterday.
It's also the same bike I trained on with the MSF course.
I've already posted a series of questions down in V-star.
Hope some elmer reads it and offers comment helpful.
thanks for the group,
Charlie

Hello all!
A bit about myself.
I've been riding something with two wheels and an engine since way back in the dark ages when gas was .25 cents a gallon. About '68 or '69. Some sort of minibike with a 5 (or was it 3?) HP Briggs&Stratton engine. Then I bought a used Honda SL70. It had been stripped down for racing although I never did. During most of my teens I didn't ride. The 'fumes got to me. You know, gas fumes (cars) and perfumes.
Did pick up a used '76 Honda XT350 after high school and road that thing into the dirt. Then bought a used '76 Yamaha DT something (Enduro 250) and road that until 1986.
In Feb. '86 I bought my first street bike. I went to the Yamaha shop and ordered an '85 RZ350. Still have the bike although it's showing it's age now.
May 30th this year I went with a buddy who was bike shopping. Heck, I wasn't even planning on buying a bike, let alone really looking for one and walked out of the shop with a brand new (one mile on the odometer) Star Raider!
I've put just over 5300 miles on it this summer!
BTW, my buddy walked out with a V-Star 1100 in BlackCherry red with the silver ghost flames that day. That cute little sales gal had a really good day that day.

Just wanted to Hello
I just bought a 2008 Roadstar Silverado 1700cc on 9-27-08. So far I am well pleased with the new bike.
I am a disabled union painter and teach at the local jr. college parttime and ride every chance I get. This is my fifth bike going back to 1964 when my first was a Yamaha Catalina 250cc 2-cycle.
It was a good bike but had people run me off the road with it. I am glad I found this website for Star.
Stay Safe,
Richard Collins
