2025 Yamaha V Star 250

The 2025 Yamaha V Star 250 is a standout choice in the entry-level cruiser class, offering authentic V-twin style and character in a package that’s easy to ride. With its 249 cc air-cooled 60° V-twin engine, 5-speed transmission, and smooth power delivery, it gives beginners a manageable yet satisfying ride. The engine’s design favors bottom-end torque and roll-on power more than high-RPM scream, which means it's less about high speeds and more about feeling confident—even in city riding or around town.

One of the most compelling features of the V Star 250 is its comfort and usability. The low seat height (around 27 in) makes it accessible to a wide variety of riders, including those shorter in stature or less experienced. The chassis geometry, forward-mounted controls, and plush suspension—while not overly fancy—deliver a riding experience that feels relaxed rather than demanding. Add in its lightweight feel, classic cruiser styling with dual exhausts, and lots of chrome, and it presents itself as a great first cruiser for someone who cares about both feeling good and looking good.

In conclusion, the 2025 Yamaha V Star 250 isn’t built to compete with liter-class beasts or corner-carving sport bikes—it doesn’t try to be. What it is built to be is a gateway machine: something someone can start with, learn on, enjoy for leisurely rides, and perhaps modify or personalize down the road. For riders who want cruiser style, V-twin rumble, ease of handling, and a fun, approachable ride AND don’t need blistering performance, this bike delivers an excellent balance.
