 PERFORMANCE
The Star Eluder's 1,854 cc air-cooled, 48-degree V-twin produces a peak 126 ft-lbs. of torque, offering the right motivation for any situation. Yamaha Chip-Control Throttle, D-Modes, traction control and cruise control translate engine performance into an optimal riding experience.
|
|
 COMFORT
Transcontinental touring is at the heart of the Star Eluder, as evidenced by features like a 25-litre fuel tank, cruise control, 67 litres of saddlebag storage and a comfortable, heated one-piece rider/passenger seat. A 7-inch infotainment system with voice control comes standard, with optional GPS navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio.
|
|
STYLE
The Star Eluder's touring capabilities are tastefully contrasted by its sleek bagger styling, achieved by removing the top case from the Star Venture TC and swapping in a shorty windscreen. The result is a motorcycle that blends the lines between luxury touring and cruiser cool.
