Yamaha V Star Silverado 2008

A medium-size adjustable windshield, low-profile studded touring seat with backrest and studded leather saddlebags are everything the V Star Silverado needs to be a great traveling bike. A SOHC 40-cubic-inch V-twin feeding power through an efficient shaft drive makes a great middleweight touring package. Rider floorboards provide great comfort on long rides, and the hardtail-looking rear end soaks up bumps with nearly four inches of rear wheel travel. The V Star Silverado achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 49 mpg with a fuel tank that holds 4.2 gallons of gas.

Engine
