From Motorcycle consumer News magazine: May 98 V-Star 0-60 7.82 1/4 mile 15.82 Sep 96 LS650 0-60 6.98 1/4 mile 15.30 The engines are the same since the test so the results should be similar today.

I expect it would take the Vstar, even stock, since the Vsar is so much heavier, tho I dont have the numbers, it certainly looks a lot heavier. I kknow a guy who has one & the folks he went on a trip with( He rode, they took the cage) said his bike was outta wind at 80 MPH. It might run a bit faster, but what I gathered was it was outta acceleration at 80. Heck, run the guy & see? What ya got to lose? IF he wins, just spend a little time & $$ on exhaust & jets & whoop hiz tail. Then, he can mess with is, then you would HAVE to put a cam in yours, so it's all good.. Your wife would be obligated to agree! Maybe you should sand bag & make SURE he wins, so you can get a Supertrapp & rejet.. Yea,, that's the tikkit,, sandbag & Looose,, uh huhh,, I can see it now,,

I've riden his and it is alot more comfy but doesn't have the same giddy-up-and-go of mine.

I dunno, yet, (I am waiting on the cam I am getting thru Lancer, the VERY same one you may well get for a much reduced price IF he should become a distributor for the outfit that made mine.. grrr! LOL,,) But I will be telling the folks here how it is as soon as I can. I have a Supertrapp & a 150 main, stock pilot & the trapp has 14 bafflesin it. I am also adding small shims to the clutch springs, just in case the added power would cause it to slip, I dont want to have to take it apart again. I hope the shims are thick enough,,

You may have been thinking of the quest to become a dealer for the piston company, and to be able to save some $$ for the gang on those parts.

Ahhh HA! I see,, well, Now I feel better! I am so ready for the cam. I have the new chain run thru & tied in place. I hope the piston deal works out. I want in on it, but I really need for it to happen at the 3rd of the month, so I can pay for it. I cant be spending over 150 or so, that's even liable to get me shot, but I will risk it for the chance to have THE scootinest 650 in town. I think I have the ONLY S40 or even Savage 650 in Longview. I havent seen another, yet. Just asked the wife, she hasnt seen any either. I am wanting to run the guy with the Vstar, but his is stock, so , I am sure to mash it.. I guess I better hunt up a Harley.. they are thick in these [parts
