Hi sladey, I had a V reg 650 dragstar and was reasonably happy with it but found it underpowered. 2up at 70mph on the motorway I found that I had nothing left so overtaking proved almost impossible if not scary. The other thing I didn't like was the "chrome" on top of plastic as it tended to crack and peel off. On the plus side it was comfortable, reliable and handled well.
Have a VN 800,see pic's on profile,it goe's and stops,and rides well,its still a soft tail by the way. Lots of pull,and never let me or previous owner down. granted its been change a bit from it original form.
