In 2006, Yamaha launched the Road Star Silverado, a more touring-oriented machine that featured standard equipment, such as deeply valanced fenders, a stylish fuel tank with an integrated instrument panel, a dual chromed exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels with white wall tires for a more classic appearance.

In addition to the standard equipment, the 2006 Yamaha Road Star Silverado packed several long-distance accessories that enhanced its touring capabilities, including a large windscreen for excellent wind and weather protection, a studded passenger backrest for more comfort, and side-mounted leather-wrapped saddlebags that offered the extra storage needed.

The stylish cruiser machine first appeared in 1999 and was manufactured until 2014. The bike was also designated as the Wild Star in the European market and Road Star in the American market. In its first five years of production, the bike featured a 1,602cc engine, while in 2004, Yamaha increased the engine displacement to 1,670cc.

As for the stylish powerplant, from 1999 to 2007, it was fed by a single Mikuni carburetor that delivered optimum engine performance. However, all changed in 2008 when the manufacturer introduced a new fuel injection system that offered smooth performance and fast engine response.

The 2006 Yamaha Road Star Silverado was still powered by a carbureted engine with a 1.670cc displacement cooled down by the air stream, boasting 75 hp at the rider's wrist with a peak force at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

When it was released in 2006, the Yamaha Road Star Silverado was offered at an MSRP of $12,799, while in 2023, the machine was sold with a price ranging between $4,000 and $5,000 as used and depending on its condition.
