My V-Star took 2k worth of mods before I was happy with her. That is not including the Ultimate seat. (VStar 1100 Silverado). I wouldn't want the 1300....don't know why though
My Vic had more power out of the box than the HD. I knew it was for me when I took the SO into the dealership and after looking at "my" bike he didn't grumble as much (you know, things like "it's not a HD, it's a copycat", blah blah blah) as he normally does when being forced into any dealership that is not HD. Love, it brought together a die hard HD fanatic and a die hard anything but...
