Yamaha soon added 500 cc (31 cu in) and 920 cc (56 cu in) versions. The bike was redesigned
Switching from a rear mono-shock to a dual-shock design, and adding a tear-drop shaped gas tank. That year, Harley-Davidson, fearful of the inroads in the US market made by the Virago and other new Japanese cruiser-style motorcycles, pushed for a tariff on imported bikes over 700 cc.
A 250 cc (XV250) was added. A short production (1997–2000) of 125 cc was also manufactured.
It was renamed the V-Star 250.
