The Yamaha Road Star Warrior was a cruiser machine that debuted in 2002 and continued production until 2010. The bike combined a classic design complemented by modern technology, resulting in a low and mean machine.
In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle maker launched the Yamaha Road Star Warrior, a cruising motorcycle that received a new 3D tank emblem and clear turn signal lenses for a more custom and high-visibility touch.
Besides its new features, the 2005 model packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any significant modifications whatsoever.
The bike was fitted with standard features, such as a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a single headlight unit, a dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with an oversized muffler mounted on the right side, and three-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.
The 2005 Yamaha Road Star Warrior had installed the same 1,670cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine as previous models, managed by an electronically-controlled fuel injection system, delivering 84 hp at 4,400 rpm and 135 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 3,750 rpm.
A 41 mm Kayaba inverted telescopic fork handled the bike's front suspension, while a link-type rebound and preload-adjustable shock absorber dealt with the rear-end suspension, providing excellent handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the motorcycle packed twin 298 mm brake discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 282 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
