People talk about the size or the motor, but forget to mention that it has really good weight to power ratio, which makes it a better performance bike than the slightly more expensive "successor" XVS650

Definitely. I've had the 1100 and that was slow. Great fun and a torque monster. But slow top speed. The 650 must be very slow. I'm thinking of getting a 535.as a cheap lil bike, that could still go anywhere.

Its predecessor, the XV 500, is even better in that respect, with 49 horses and 181 kilos dry weight. I own one, and will never get rid of it. A sporty little cruiser that is really fun. The 535 is less powerful, and the 650, unfortunately, even less than the 535. Not all changes are for the better.

Fell in love with this bike since my father got one in 2002. Sadly I didn't managed to get the corner, so we had to sell it to someone who had more possibilities to get it back to driving. After searching for a replacement we couldn't find anything as close, also because of my height (175cm) and short legs. All in all, got a nice 535 with a nice color way, sport exhaust with big bangs and 10000km only. This bike is easy to handle, but watch out for corners, don't go in too quickly (underestimated the curve). 43 Hp is also enough to overtake some street turtles, even on the highway. My record is 172 km/h, wind got my back back then. If your looking for a relatively cheap and reliable bike, this bike might be something for you. Just get an oil exchange from time to time (I did it annually) so the 535 can pay you back for some years and thousand kilometers. The old one had around 39.000 km when I crashed it, the engine growled as on the first date. Excuse my english, had not wrote a text since graduation in 2019.

Well…. You might be able to ride it. But it wouldn’t be that fun in the long run 😂 Get a Honda shadow 750 or such instead. They don’t cost much at are better suited for you. Thanks for watching

Hola. Lo siento, no conozco muchas motos dentro del rango de 500 cc. Pero una sugerencia de una bicicleta que parece similar a lo que escribiste es la Honda Shadow 750. Es una moto bonita y muy fiable. Yo tenía uno, puedes verlo aquí: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJelhmeaiMhjpJYsi=EkOFk_eBIP30dQlY gracias por ver mi amigo

Doesn't seam to be the original exaust, right? Which setup do you have? I'd like to find out wether its legal over here in Germany or not, sounds pretty awesome😅 i probably want to get a 535 this year after i succesfully mastered my driving test. The bike is cheap and reliable and i'm into choppers anyway.

I’m picking one up tomorrow but in all honesty I have no idea how to drive a manual. I know it’s different from a car obviously but all of my v’s have been automatic. Am I in trouble or is this learnable in a couple weeks?
@Darkvisor Жыл бұрын
Oh congrats. I'm sure you will be happy with your bike =) Weeks? Nah you will learn it in a day no problem. It's not that hard, one down, the rest up. It goes like: 1, N, 2, 3, 4, 5 So first gear is one down from neutral and the rest up up, just pull in the clutch, let go of the throttle and then change gears and then gently let off the clutch again while meeting up with the throttle. You can check my video where I explain a bit how it works, i've jumped right into that part, see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJKak4x-f7eKbqc Let me know if you have any more questions =)

Would you say that there's better out there if you're 185 cm tall? I really want to take one of these home but am concerned about the ergonomics and my size, especially since I intend to cruise for distance
@Darkvisor Жыл бұрын
oh yes. this has to be one of the smallest cruisers out there. It feels small, but manageable. But i hear that its not that great for longer travels due to overheating. I haven't ridden it for longer trips myself but I know people who has it and don't recommend it for longer travels. For you, i might suggest a Honda Shadow 750 or smiliar. they are a little bigger and better suited for longer trips and cheap to buy/ride! I've had one and I kinda miss it to be honest. I had cobra slashpipes on mine and it sounded great (no need for an expensive harley.... ;) thanks for watching and if you have more questions, feel free to ask away
