The V Star 1300 is a cruiser motorcycle that has been in production since 2007, ushering with it a new era of midsize cruisers. The V Star 1300 is available in standard and touring versions where the only things that make the V Star 1300 Tourer travel ready and different from the standard version include a tall windshield, a passenger backrest, and a pair of leather-covered hard side-bags. However, the year 2010 has the Yamaha engineers putting a new spin on the 2010 Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer, which is based on the popular V Star 1300. The color choices for the 2010 Yamaha V Star 1300 are limited and are available only in raven black or impact blue.
