Sounds like it been neglected. looking at the sort of bike it is it doesnt look the sort of bike you buy to thrap arround on, but I may well be wrong.

Dragstars (XVS) are available in 125, 250, 400, 650 and 1100 flavours. Known as V-Star in th U.S
XV1600 is known as: Roadstar/Wildstar/Midnightstar/Silverado. Depends on spec and Europe/UK/Wherever
Fair point though, not the kind of motor that is thrashed. V-twins have torque low to mid. Nothing gained by thrashing them.
