YAMAHARoyal Star TF Venture 1999 - 2003

　　The Yamaha Royal Star was a cruiser motorcycle introduced by the Japanese maker in 1996. The bike used Yamaha Venture Royal's power package and was the first Star motorcycle introduced.

　　In 1999, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Royal Star TF Venture, a cruiser motorcycle fitted with several touring accessories, making long hauls more comfortable and enjoyable.

　　In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight integrated into an aerodynamic fairing, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and seven-spoke wheels.

　　In addition to its standard features, the bike packed touring-oriented accessories, including a tall windscreen for better wind protection, a top case with an integrated passenger backrest and armrests, and side-mounted hard panniers for extra storage.

　　The bike was built around a double-downtube full-cradle steel frame with an air-assisted telescopic fork on the front and an air-assisted shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The braking performance was achieved by two 298 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 320 mm disc tied to a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power.

　　As for the power figures, the 1999 Yamaha Royal Star TF Venture had its soul brought to life by a 1,294cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-4 engine that delivered an output power of 75 hp at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (81 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.
