Yamaha launched the 2009 Road Star Silverado, a cruising machine with casual touring capabilities. It started production in 1999 and ended in 2014 when the manufacturer dropped the Road Star line from their range.

Over its production period, the Road Star underwent several modifications, such as the 2004 upgrade, when the displacements were increased from 1,602cc to 1,670cc, and the 2008 modification that introduced an all-new fuel injection system.

The 2009 machine was powered by a beautifully crafted V-twin engine that provided excellent throttle response and smooth acceleration due to its new electronically controlled fuel injection system.

In addition, the 2009 motorcycle packed many classic-styled components, including a large single-unit headlight, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, deeply valanced steel fenders, and a chrome dual exhaust system.

The Road Star range included several models with different designations and appearances, including the Road Star S, which offered many chromed accents; the Silverado, loaded with touring accessories; the Midnight with blacked-out trim; and the Midnight Silverado, which combined the Midnight's black trim with touring elements from the Silverado.

The 2009 Yamaha Road Star Silverado was fitted on the front with an adjustable windscreen for excellent protection against weather and debris, a two-piece dual studded seat with a studded passenger backrest, and soft leather saddlebags for extra storage.

As for power, the 2009 machine was still powered by the renowned and reliable 1,670cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine delivering 75 hp at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 3,500 rpm.

The 2009 Silverado came into the world at an MSRP of $14,590 and sold 14 years later, in 2023, at an average price of $5,100.
