STAR INFOTAINMENT

Quick start directions available to help you check your current system version and how to download and install the latest infotainment software release.BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE LASTEST UPDATE:

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.
