2007 Yamaha Road Star

It comes by its reputation honestly.

The big-bore air-cooled V-twin cruiser that has what it takes to be the bike you want it to be wild-hearted radical custom, lovingly polished stocker, or the look you know is just right for you.

The 2007 Road Star sets the standard in big twin performance and style.

At the heart of this machine is a massive, air-cooled 1670 cm³ V-Twin that pumps out an awesome amount of piston pounding torque. But "The Roadie" is more than just muscle. Legendary Star styling and attention to detail make it a rolling piece of art that you'll be proud to ride.

Canadian model will feature spoked wheels.
