Yamaha V Star 1300

2008-06-18T19:07:00.000-07:00

The open-road version of the all-new V Star 1300 Tourer rolls out with a windshield, leather-wrapped, hard sidebags and a passenger backrest. Midsize Star brings modern classic styling along for a lighter, sportier, hot-rod-inspired ride. 80-cubic-inch (1304cc) liquid-cooled, fuel-injected V-twin produces excellent power across the board along with a highly stimulating exhaust note. Neo-streamline design, including a seamless gas tank and two-into-one exhaust, gives the V Star 1300 Tourer that distinctive Star look. Steel chassis gets 48 percent of the bike’s weight on the front tire, for quick, light handling and maneuverability. Authentic cruiser features such as belt drive and steel fenders open up the customization possibilities even further.

Harley Davidson XR1200

2008-06-18T03:53:00.000-07:00

The XR1200 is as close to a true sportsbike Harley-Davidson is ever going to make (except for the ill-fated VR1000 Superbike –Ed.). It’s air-cooled with a modified 1203cc Evolution V45 from the Sportster range. To make it more powerful than the rest, the XR1200 features a larger air-box, downdraft fuel injection and a performance-biased exhaust system. The result is a claimed 90 horsepower at 7.000 rpm and 73.8 ft-lbs of torque maxing at a low 3.700 rpm.

A light-and-rigid aluminum frame, sportbike running gear and standard hard sidebags go beautifully together. Pushbutton adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding. The world’s ﬁrst supersport touring bike boasts standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers to a gaping chasm. Advanced air management system and adjustable bodywork keep the FJR rider looking and feeling cool.
