1999 Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star – Custom Cruiser
Beautiful candy Red & white Extensive Chrome | Whitewall Tyres | Superb Presentation
We are delighted to offer this beautifully presented 1999 Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star, finished in a striking combination of metallic candy red and white, complemented by an abundance of gleaming chrome.
Inspired by the classic American V-twin cruisers, the Drag Star offers timeless styling, relaxed riding characteristics and Yamaha’s renowned engineering.
This particular example is especially attractive, having spent much of its life and more so the last eight years primarily as a display piece rather than in regular road use. As such, it presents extremely well and is a wonderful example of this increasingly well regarded Japanese cruiser.
The beautiful two tone paintwork is complemented by chrome wire spoke wheels, traditional whitewall tyres, sweeping twin chrome exhaust pipes and an impressive selection of period style accessories.
The motorcycle also benefits from a full touring windscreen, padded passenger backrest, luggage rack, leather style luggage bag and chrome engine protection bars, all adding to its distinctive appearance.
Powered by Yamaha’s 649cc air-cooled V-twin engine, coupled to a five speed gearbox and shaft drive, the Drag Star is renowned for its smooth, relaxed cruising characteristics and reliability.

Mechanical Condition
Having spent much of the last eight years as a display piece, the motorcycle has seen relatively little regular use during this period.
It starts, runs and rides very well, with the characteristic sound and smooth delivery of Yamaha’s V-twin engine there’s no reason why it shouldn’t pass an MOT with ease.
However, given its limited recent use, we would recommend a full service, general mechanical inspection and a fresh MOT before returning the motorcycle to regular road use.
It is being offered in its present condition, with this recommendation clearly reflected in the description.
Summary
A particularly attractive example of the much loved and highly regarded. Yamaha Drag Star, combining beautiful traditional cruiser styling with the reliability and engineering of a Japanese V-twin.
Its striking colour combination, extensive chrome detailing and excellent cosmetic presentation make it equally appealing as a display piece or as a motorcycle to recommission for enjoyable weekend riding.
A wonderful looking cruiser with considerable character and road presence.
Viewing is welcomed by prior appointment.
