## Yamaha XVS 650K(KC) & XVS650L(AL) Drag Star: A Detailed Overview

The Yamaha XVS 650K(KC) and XVS650L(AL) Drag Star, introduced in 2009, are stylish and reliable cruisers that have captured the hearts of riders worldwide. With their classic lines, ample power, and comfortable ergonomics, these motorcycles provide an exhilarating and enjoyable riding experience.

### Engine and Performance

At the heart of the Drag Star lies a four-stroke, V-twin engine with a displacement of 649cc. This liquid-cooled powerplant produces a healthy 40 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 42 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpm. The engine's linear power delivery and smooth acceleration make it ideal for cruising, while its throaty exhaust note adds to the overall riding experience.

The air-cooled Drag Star features an electronic fuel injection system that ensures optimal performance and efficiency, while a dry-sump lubrication system maintains oil flow even during spirited riding. A five-speed transmission with a belt final drive provides smooth and reliable shifting.

### Handling and Comfort

The Drag Star's chassis is designed to provide a stable and comfortable ride. The lightweight double-cradle frame is constructed of high-tensile steel, ensuring rigidity and durability. The front suspension features 41mm telescopic forks with 5.1 inches of travel, while the rear suspension utilizes twin shocks with 4.3 inches of travel. This suspension system absorbs road irregularities effectively, providing a plush and forgiving ride.

The Drag Star's ergonomic design focuses on rider comfort. The low seat height of 26.8 inches makes it accessible to riders of all heights, while the wide handlebars and forward-mounted footpegs create a relaxed and comfortable riding position. The spacious saddle provides ample support for long rides.

### Styling and Features

The Drag Star's classic cruiser styling is both eye-catching and timeless. Its elongated frame, bobbed rear fender, and teardrop-shaped fuel tank evoke the iconic motorcycles of the past. The chrome-plated exhaust pipes, spoked wheels, and leather-wrapped grips add to the bike's premium appearance.

The Drag Star comes well-equipped with a range of features that enhance its functionality. A compact instrument cluster provides essential information such as speed, fuel level, and gear position. The motorcycle also features a self-canceling turn signal system and a maintenance-free battery for increased convenience.

### Variants and Availability

The Yamaha XVS 650K(KC) and XVS650L(AL) Drag Star are available in several variants. The XVS 650K(KC) is the base model, while the XVS650L(AL) offers additional features such as a windshield and passenger backrest. Both variants are available in a wide range of colors, allowing riders to choose the bike that best suits their style.
