2012 Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer

Intro

The 2012 Yamaha V Star 1300 is everything you need in a motorcycle. It’s not too big; it’s not too small. It fits just right, and clings to the road the way you’ll end up clinging to it. A contoured seat, only about 27 inches off the ground, and handlebars tailored to a relaxed riding position provide for relaxed, comfortable seating as you roar down the highway. The 41mm KYB front fork suspension features stylish large-diameter brushed-finished cover, and offers 5.3 inches of travel, making for a smooth ride.

The V Star 1300 Tourer is the casual touring version of the V Star 1300. The Tourer includes all of the same power and handling amenities of the base model, but comes with 3 of the most sought after casual touring"" extras: a windshield, locking saddlebags, and passenger backrest. Spacious floorboards and ample storage room make the V Star 1300 Tourer a perfect weekend cruiser, and sure to make you wish you had a few extra days off to motor around.
