According to Yamaha the Star 650 is geared and tuned for a 55 mph cruising speed. That doesn't mean you can't go faster. 55 is just the optimum speed for mileage and comfort. Lots on CL here but the sellers think their used bike is made of gold. Not as many Vulcans for sale but that really means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Most Jap bikes are very reliable so just find one that fits and ride it.

Older Honda Night Hawks are air cooled. Might be another good choice.
