The 2004 Road Star Warrior inspires at least a very deep respect, if not even fear. Compact yet massive and being a presence impossible to miss on the road, as well as in the parking lot, this machine is not designed for the meek. It packs all the nerve Yamaha's 1670cc v-twin engine can harness, while the overall styling is as mean as it gets. A roadster riding position, aggressive sport bike-styled 3-spoke cast wheels and a menacing black livery are all in place to make a strong impression. | The 2004 Road Star Warrior inspires at least a very deep respect, if not even fear.

The 2005 Road Star Warrior develops new ways to define the concept of "evil, menacing bike", and carries on the acclaimed roadster heritage. With a solid dose of sport bike DNA added to the dragster-ish cruiser mix, the new Warrior packs steel braided lines, chunky 5-spoke cast wheels, a low and aggressive seat, a true sportsbike exhaust and plenty of mean styling. | The 2005 Road Star Warrior develops new ways to define the concept of "evil, menacing bike", and carries on the acclaimed roadster heritage.

Cruiser looks with rich chrome elements and superbike-class performance is definitely one thing you don't run into everyday. That is, unless you actually own a bike like the 2006 Road Star Warrior. A hotrodded cruiser down to the last nut and bolt, this Warrior packs a 1670cc displacement with torque on tap and plenty of passing power in almost any scenario. | Cruiser looks with rich chrome elements and superbike-class performance is definitely one thing you don't run into everyday.

High-performance cruisers are an unique breed of bikes, and the 2008 MY Yamaha Road Star Warrior is showing the world how it's done. The spirit of a superbike in the body of a roadster, the Road Star Warrior is a bike you either love or hate. It packs a merciless 1670cc air-cooled v-twin with looks to match, a low seat, ample bars, and an aggressive dragster profile to avoid mistaking this machine for something else. | High-performance cruisers are an unique breed of bikes, and the 2008 MY Yamaha Road Star Warrior is showing the world how it's done.

The 2009 MY Road Star Warrior is a great choice for those who loved the MT-01 but who are looking for a bit more cruiser DNA for their dream ride. The Warrior stays true to the philosophy which led to some of the most spectacular muscle bikes around: mix sportbike-derived technologies and a brawny cruiser engine, then try to hold on to the bars. | The 2009 MY Road Star Warrior is a great choice for those who loved the MT-01 but who are looking for a bit more cruiser DNA for their dream ride.

Sporting only minor revisions over the previous version, the 2010 MY Road Star Warrior retains the same amazing character of a street brawler born from a sport bike and a power cruiser. Powered by the proven injected 1670cc air-cooled v-twin and boasting a sport bike-derived frame, the Road Star Warrior is equipped with brakes inspired by the might YZF-R1 superbike, and this spells impeccable performance and a reassuring feel. | Sporting only minor revisions over the previous version, the 2010 MY Road Star Warrior retains the same amazing character of a street brawler born from a sport bike and a power cruiser.
