The 2014 Yamaha Road Star S is the kind of classic cruiser which appeals to both new and seasoned riders, males and females, alike: it boasts a timeless design which harks back to the golden age of motorcycle history, even though the technology has come a long way since then. With generous seats and a massive fuel tank with slammed instrumentation, huge dual exhausts and a timeless hardtail look, this machine has everything a classic bike lover needs.

Powered by an air-cooled 102cui (1,670cc) v-twin, the 2014 Yamaha Road Star S also comes with a wide-ratio 5-speed transmission making riding fun and easy, no matter whether you're cruising at highway speed or tackling turn after turn up a mountain road. This bike becomes available from September 2013.
