YAMAHARoyal Star Venture 2006 - 2007

　　The Yamaha Royal Star Venture was a luxury touring motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha in two forms: the 1983 to 1993 model and the 1999 to 2013 version. The bike debuted in 1999 under the Royal Star designation.

　　In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Royal Star Venture, a touring machine in its eighth year of production, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any significant modifications.

　　In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a round headlight integrated into an aerodynamic cowl, a comfortable two-piece dual seat, a top case with an integrated passenger backrest and armrests, color-matched panniers, a dual exhaust system, and seven-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　As for performance, the 2006 Yamaha Royal Star Venture had installed a 1,294cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-4 engine managed by four Mikuni carburetors, delivering 98 hp and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.

　　The power produced by the engine was transferred to a five-speed manual gearbox equipped with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear through a low-maintenance final shaft drive.

　　Suspension-wise, the bike packed a 43 mm air-assisted adjustable telescopic fork on the front with 142 mm of travel and a link-type air-assisted shock absorber on the rear with 104 mm of travel, offering excellent handling capabilities.
