This Great Touring Machine combines the best of the touring worlds. Jump on this Yamaha VSTAR 1300 Tour in Black Cherry and see what it is all about. The V-Star 1300 Tourer has the same class leading power and handling of the regular V-Star 1300 plus 3 of the most sought after “casual touring” extras. A windshield, locking saddlebags and passenger backrest make the Tourer a perfect weekend escape machine. From the spacious rider floorboards to the roomy soft saddlebags, all of the components blend together to offer unmatched function, comfort and style. 1304cc, (80 cubic inch) liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 4-valve, 60° V-twin powerplant pumps out incredible amounts of class leading power and torque for unparalleled acceleration and cruising performance. Liquid-cooling not only allows for higher state of tune because it maintains more stable operating temperatures, but also reduces mechanical noise especially from the valve train for a quieter engine. In an effort to maintain the classic air-cooled appearance of the engine, cooling fins have been added as a styling touch. The short stroke engine design reduces the “tallness” of the engine, while the 60 degree “V” makes the engine more compact thereby centralizing mass and lowering the center of gravity for lighter more responsive handling.
