In 2013, Yamaha released the Road Star Silverado S, a cruising motorcycle part of the Road Star family that comprised several versions. The Silverado S was essentially a standard Silverado with additional chromed elements.
Other versions included the Midnight model, which came in a blacked-out trim, the Silverado version fitted with touring-oriented accessories, and the Midnight Silverado, a combination of both machines.
The Road Star family was born in 1999, and over its production period, it featured several changes, such as the 2004 displacement increase and several design changes. Also, in 2008, the Japanese maker introduced a new fuel injection system that delivered smoother throttle response, fast acceleration, better fuel efficiency, and fewer emissions.
The 2013 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S was equipped from the factory with an adjustable mid-sized windscreen for better protection, a two-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest for more comfort, and hard, color-matched panniers for extra storage.
In the performance department, the 2013 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S took its muscles from a 1,670cc four-stroke 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.
When it was new, the 2013 Silverado S came at an MSRP of $15,590, and in 2023, the machine was sold at a price ranging between $6,000 to $8,000.
