YAMAHARoad Star S 2011 - 2012

　　In 1999, the Japanese manufacturer released a Road Star family of cruiser machines into the touring world. The first motorcycle was released in 1999 and was known as the Road Star in the American market and Wild Star in the European market.

　　Over its production period, the bike received several modifications, including the 2004 displacement increase and design changes, such as tubeless tires, aluminum wheels, a different color for the engine cases, and a skinnier belt drive.

　　Four years after the first upgrade, the bike received a new electronically controlled fuel injection system that offered better fuel efficiency, smoother throttle response and acceleration, and fewer emissions.

　　The bike was available in a Silverado version, and it introduced several touring-oriented accessories, including a mid-sized windscreen, a passenger backrest, and side-mounted saddlebags for extra storage.

　　Other versions, including the Road Star S, Silverado S, Midnight, and Midnight Silverado, were available. The Midnight Silverado combined the two models, taking the blacked-out trim and combining it with touring accessories from the Silverado model.

　　In 2011, Yamaha launched the Road Star S, a cruiser with more chrome than the standard model, packing a stylish 1,670cc air-cooled V-twin engine with 75 hp on tap at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

　　The 2011 Yamaha Road Star S was sold at an MSRP of $15,590 at the time of its release, while in 2023 (at the time of writing), it was sold with an average price of $6,400.
