Hi Rumbley,
when I say maintenance I am meaning routine stuff like Valve adjustments and coolant changes etc, I'm sure they are both reliable bikes like all Japanese machines, just the C90 has less up keep to be done on a regular basis. I can change the oil and drive shaft fluid myself but that is about the limit of my mechanical abilities !
I have read quite a bit about the V-Star and have sat on it. It feels fantastic, the balance is excellent and even standing still you can just tell its going to handle great for a cruiser and it looks good too.
