V-Star 250 Comparison To Harley Davidson Iron 883

A while back someone asked me to compare the Yamaha V Star 250 to a Harley Davidson. I thought it funny someone should ask that but I thought lets look at the specs and see just how far apart they are. While there is newer Harley models out I thought it fun to compare it to a well know model. The main differences are weight and power ( oh ya and price) but size wise they are not so far apart. I have only compared a few general specs just to give you an idea of sizes.
