AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

2006 Yamaha XVS 650 DragStar with only 3933 KM.

The 2006 Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star is a characterful Japanese cruiser known for its classic American look, comfortable riding characteristics, and excellent reliability. The Drag Star was developed by Yamaha as an accessible cruiser with the appearance of a large American V-twin, combined with solid Japanese engineering. This example comes from the first owner, has only 3,933 kilometers on the clock, and is in absolute pristine condition. A particularly well-preserved motorcycle that still carries the look of a nearly new bike.

The XVS 650 Drag Star is powered by an air-cooled 649 cc V-twin with a power output of around 40 hp. The engine is known for its smooth power delivery, distinctive V-twin sound, and strong pulling power at low revs. In combination with the five-speed gearbox and maintenance-free shaft drive, the Yamaha offers a relaxed riding experience, where comfort and ease of use are central.

The chassis is entirely geared toward comfortable cruising. The Yamaha features a sturdy steel frame, a low seat height, and a hidden rear suspension that gives the classic hardtail appearance. Thanks to the wide handlebars, relaxed riding position, and stable handling, the Drag Star is particularly suitable for relaxed road trips and longer rides. The shaft drive also contributes to the bike’s maintenance-friendly character.

The XVS 650 Drag Star has a timeless design strongly inspired by classic American cruisers. Characteristic are the teardrop-shaped fuel tank, the plentiful chrome accents, the wide fenders, and the well-shaped V-twin. The combination of classic lines and high-quality finishing gives the Drag Star an impressive look that continues to draw admiration today.

What makes this example truly special is its exceptional condition and the particularly low mileage of only 3,933 kilometers. The bike comes from the first owner and, despite its twenty-year age, is in absolute pristine condition. Such examples are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially with such low mileage and ownership history from new. This makes this Yamaha XVS 650 Drag Star a unique appearance for enthusiasts and collectors of classic Japanese cruisers. It belongs in a collection.

Condition:

The Yamaha XVS 650 DragStar has stood still for a time (indoor and heated). In absolute pristine condition, except for a light scratch on the front fender, see one of the last photos. If ridden, the carburetors and tank will need to be cleaned.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
