2013 Star Stratoliner S Shows Classic Chopper Elegance [Photo Gallery]

2013 also brings news for the Stratoliner S chopper, made by Star Motorcycles.

The Stratoliner S Star prepares for the next season comes with all the nifty features you'd look for in a classic chopper: chrome bonanza, smooth powerful engine and all the legendary attitude you've been dreaming about.

And since “classic” is the key-word, leather-covered side bags could not be absent, perfectly integrated with the new streamlined design of the bike. The massive 113ci (1,854cc) electronic injection engine sits now in an aluminium frame which makes the whole Stratoliner S lighter than other full-size choppers.

The 2013 Stratoliner S also comes with a sculpted seat for long rides and the clutch operation is said to be 20% easier, for less left-hand fatigue in busy traffic. On the visual side, the new Star Stratoliner S will also turn a lot of heads thanks to the specially-machined cooling fins on the cylinders: they'll shine like jewels in the sunlight, so you have one more reason to take really good care of your 2013 Star Stratoliner S.

Available in Deep Blue starting October 2012 for a base price of $17,590 (13,610€), with countless optional custom accessories.
