2011 Yamaha Road Star S

The 2011 Yamaha Road-Star S is one of the most customized air-cooled V-tinws in the business, and with good reason, too. It simply looks good, due mostly to the classic appeal of that hardtail-looking steel frame and allt he classic looking hardware that goes with it. The 2011 Yamaha Road-Star S gets chrome accents to the front end including chrome switchgear, front brake master cylinder, front fork and levers. The 2011 Yamaha Road-Star S features a fuel-injected 102 cubic inch, authentic air-cooled V-twin that has plenty of hourses and muscle on tap. Its easy on the eyes and thanks to its hard tail looking chassis and all the classic chrome hardware that goes with it. Another winner in the legendary Star series.

Though its available in a metallic black lacquer - this Star is sure to light up the road with its radiant good looks and brilliant chrome.

Gleaming chrome, a retro seat and loads of torquey muscle will have you itching to ride. Swing a leg over, fire up the massive fuel injected V-twin engine, and then settle in for a nice long ride.
