In 2000, Yamaha released the Road Star MM Limited Edition, a unique cruiser machine that combined classic American motorcycle with Star performance. Compared to the standard Road Star motorcycle, the MM Edition featured color changes to the instrument cluster and headlight housing.

In addition, the bike featured wire-spoke wheels with white-wall tires, studded seats for a nostalgic appearance, MM Limited logos, and brass serial number plates mounted on the rear fender. A total of 1500 units were produced worldwide, from which 1000 were delivered to the United States market.

The bike was designed to maximize the riding experience by running at low rpm when cruising and delivering a pulsing feel with excellent torque. Also, the Road Star featured the lowest engine height of all V-twin cruisers, enhancing its low, long style and attitude.

In addition, the Japanese manufacturer made available a wide range of Star line accessories, including side-mounted leather saddlebags, seats, billet chrome add-ons, and a mid-sized windscreen especially designed for the Rad Star.

Underneath its fuel tank was the renowned 1,602cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that powered the entire Road Star family, delivering 63 hp with a maximum peak at 4,000 rpm and 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.

The 2000 Yamaha Road Star MM Limited Edition was delivered with a Pearl White color scheme at an MSRP of $10,799. In 2023 (at the time of writing), the bike was for sale, with a price ranging from $4,000 to $6,000, depending on its condition.
