Yamaha Road Star description

The Road Star Silverado 1600:Road Star Silverado 1600 The brawny Road Star Silverado__ (and its Road Star sibling) thundered onto the cruiser scene 6 years ago, taking it by storm with its sheer size, classic retro styling and heaps of torque. But then, it's hardly a mystery why this belt-driven mega-machine made such a huge impression. And now its home to a gigantic new 102 cubic-inch air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV 48__ twin engine that pumps out huge amounts of torque barely off idle for brisk acceleration and fantastic overall cruising performance. Additional engine mods include redesigned valve system, camshafts, rocker arms, air induction system, cooling fins and beefed up clutch. Bottom line...more power and performance. An all-new lightweight and high-strength final drive belt provides long life, quiet operation and better accelration. All-new brakes featuring dual 298mm front disc brakes with 4-piston calipers (that come straight off the YZF-R1) and 320mm single disc rear brake for strong stopping power. Short and long range rider comfort is supreme thanks to wide, swept-back, 1-diameter, rubber-mounted handle bars, restyled touring rider seat that's 40mm wider, a reshaped passenger seat and full-size floating-type rider floorboards with new rubber inserts. And when you're wrapped in a swank casual touring package - large, adjustable windscreen, leather saddlebags, studded seats and backrest, whitewalls - as gorgeous as it is all-powerful, people just get plain ecstatic. Once you slide your leg over one, you'll know exactly how they feel. This bike only has 15, 000 mis. New tabs and new battery last fall. Extras- K and N air filter, Windshield, engine bar, highway pegs, luggage rack, customized fiberglass saddle bags, fog lamps, passenger running board and back rest, flashing break lamps, cobra slip on exhaust pipe with slice, (original factory pipes available) other chrome accessories added. Well maintained ...never stored outside. Ready to ride away. FULL FINANCING AVAILABLE Nationwide Shipping for qualified buyers
