I have a 2009 VStar 950T and have to admit I love the bike for what it is, a cheap bagger. Doesn't have the horses to be anything but a light crusier, not even close to the VStar 1300T's motor and the floor boards are positioned too low for any kind of leaning but accepting the lack of power and lean angle I find the bike a great ride.
Love the low riding position
Don't find the floor boards to be too forward at all.
It has a nice exhaust note even with stock pipes.
The wheels are mags not spokes.
The fenders are metal not plastic.
I'm also a fan of the air cooled motor.

I'm certain the VStar 1300T's motor is worth going for, demoed a Stryker with the same 1300 engine and loved it but I find the 950's layout better.
