Well, if you don't believe you can always e-mail to Yamaha Hong Leong to ask..

 

To me nothing is confirm until we see the V-star at the show-room

 

Good luck for your class 2

hi guys and gals...I am one of those newbies to this site....got my Dragstar Classic a month ago....think I am the 4th or 5th owner...any way it goes well....have no complaints...been riding since I was 16 years old....been here in Sing for 2 years so far and will be here for many years to come....came from New Zealand to work in our industry here...anyway been interested to find out where the rest of the Star owners meet and chat....have seen that Ownens road on friday evenings seems the local option...could someone tell me what time you meet there...

have ridden yamahas from 125 to 650...and kawasakis, hondas, and susies and even a mates 1200 harley....but still like the dependability and ride and style of the yamahas....was after a 600 dragstar but could only find a 400...so no worries...a daily driver that gives me freedom to go places.....lol..that is what biking is about...freedom...and wind..and rain..and bus and truck exhaust fumes...are what a life we lead.....lol

Welcome to Singapore. Yup, we can't get the 650cc version here due to the driving license classifications.

 

They meet at Block 25 Owen Road around 8.30 and onwards.

oic....

 

I used to stay in Christchurch from '92-'94. So I still have my "paper driving license". I'm glad that they still allow Learner drivers to learn at age 15. That's how I started my car license. By the time I went for my Bursary exams, I got my full license

[mi5trooper]

dragstar. the word "drag" does it means it is a torky, low end powerful, fast bike?

 

for eg, like the magna 750 is consider a musle bike becos of it low end power and fast bike.

 

(totally no idea, that why i ask)

Looking at Yamaha Hong Leong new website, I believe there is no 650cc version for our local market.

Of course no! This is just a name given to this model. If you are looking at the 400cc version, the specification shown that the torque is high in its class but due to its weight and shaft driven, the pick up is going to be slow. If you are looking for a fast bike, you should be looking into either a sportbike or roadbike.
