Bike Profile

When bikers think cruising they think big and the Yamaha Road Star Silverado lives up to that thought in every way. A 1600 v-twin engine is huge power encased in sharp, sleek chopper styled black and chrome of the Road Star look. It shoves out a massive 99 pounds of torque at 2,250 rpm and was the biggest torque producing v-twin of its time. The elegant long wheelbase and high handles gives it a distinctly chopper look and at the same time provides great stability on twists and over any surface of road.

Yamaha styled this bike as a classic looking cruiser right down to its spoked front wheels. Its studded leather seat has an old-fashioned appeal that is part of its charm as much as the huge power and floating ride. A very low seat that is deep in the heart of this bike creates a low center of gravity, a stable feel, and easy for smaller riders as well as comfortable for larger ones.

This bike is a big heavy duty cruiser at 677 pounds but it is very manageable even in low speed heavy traffic and tight spaces. The dual disc brakes on the front are unusual for the big cruisers but make stopping fast and reliable. The Yamaha Road Star Silverado is the ultimate cruiser for beginners and advanced bikers alike.
