Find a Pre-Owned Yamaha V-Star Motorcycle at Twisted Cycles

In terms of history, the Yamaha V-Star brand has had one of the more interesting backgrounds in the motorcycle industry. Yamaha created the brand to be a standalone business in 1994. Given the “Star” brand name, the separate, yet similar company worked towards providing the best cruiser motorcycles on the market. In 2006, the brand expanded into its own company despite Yamaha still maintaining access. But in 2016, Yamaha announced the “Star” name would be dropped, thus returning the V-Star motorcycle lineup to its parent company.

Built to last, the Yamaha V-Star model lineup can be found at Twisted Cycles. You can find select pre-owned models in our Lubbock or Dallas inventories when they arrive. Plus, we work with you on an affordable price through our Buy Here, Pay here mentality. Stop into either location or call us today!
