The 942cc 60 V-twin engine is both simple and sophisticated. Sure, theres no-fuss air cooling for traditional looks. But inside youll find the reason for the surprisingly spirited performance: four-valve cylinder heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders, forged aluminum pistons, and fuel injection.

The carefully designed chassis contributes to an exceptionally light feeling riders are sure to appreciate. The double-cradle steel main frame offers an ideal rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral, and torsional directions, using the engine as a stressed member. With the engine mounting position slightly forward for optimum front-rear weight distribution and its large, 18-inch front wheel, V Star 950 has outstanding handling performance.

To keep friction loss to a minimum and help the engineachieve the ideal performance characteristics, special compactroller-type rocker arms with needle bearings are used. Thesealso reduce top-end weight for excellent mass centralization.
The combustion chamber shape was precisely engineered todirect the fuel air charge into the center of the piston for fastercombustion and maximum power. Ceramic-composite-platedcylinders provide excellent heat dissipation and reducedoil consumption.
High-quality forged aluminum pistons have a lightweight, highstrengthcompact design that contributes to reduce vibration.
