YAMAHARoyal Star Venture S 2012 - 2013

　　The Yamaha Royal Star Venture was a luxury touring motorcycle made by Yamaha over two periods. The first model was introduced in 1983, continuing production until 1993, while the second version debuted in 1999 and continued production until 2013, remaining largely unchanged.

　　In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Royal Star Venture S, a touring machine that packed the same specifications as previous models without any significant modifications whatsoever.

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

　　In addition, compared to the base model, the S version packed more chromed elements, such as the front fork legs, a headlight ring, engine and valve covers, an exhaust system, and several bits and pieces here and there.

　　In the performance department, the 2012 Yamaha Royal Star Venture S packed the same 1,294cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V4 engine as other Royal Star machines, delivering 98 hp and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.

　　The bike was moved around with the help of a five-speed manual transmission, grabbing the engine's power and sending it to the rear wheel through a wet multi-plate clutch and a low-maintenance final shaft drive.
