YAMAHARoad Star Silverado S 2008 - 2009

　　In 2008, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha Road Star Silverado S, the same touring machine as the standard Silverado but with more chrome on board, to satisfy every rider's need for shiny elements glowing at every beam of light.

　　The 2008 Road Star Silverado followed the same path as the standard machine benefitting from the new fuel injection system that replaced the long-lived carburetor unit, delivering smooth engine response, fast acceleration, and fewer emissions.

　　The bike was delivered with many unique features, including side-mounted, color-matched panniers, a large touring windscreen, a passenger backrest, passing lights, and many chromed elements. The bike packed some chromed accessories on the front end, including passing lamps, switchgear, a front brake master cylinder, and brake and clutch levers.

　　Underneath its stylish fuel tank with an integrated instrument cluster, the bike packed the reliable and powerful 1,670cc air-cooled V-twin engine fitted with a new electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 75 hp with a peak at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

　　The bike's riding was softened by a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front with 140 mm wheel travel and a spring preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear that was horizontally mounted out of sight, creating a classic hardtail look.

　　The base price for the 2008 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S was $14,099 at the time of its release, and in 2023, the bike was sold at an average retail price of $4,575.
