YAMAHA Road Star Silverado Silver Edition (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2003, Yamaha released the Road Star Silverado Silver Edition, a special edition version of the standard Road Star motorcycle. As its name implies, the bile came in an entirely silver package, delivering the same performance as its siblings.

The bike's silver finish was found on the teardrop-shaped fuel tank, the profoundly valanced fenders, the side-mounted panniers, and the air filter cover. In addition, the bike's appearance was enhanced by shiny chromed accents, including engine covers, exhaust, handlebar, rearview mirrors, and many more.

The bike was ready for long journeys, being equipped with a large windscreen that offered protection against weather and debris, passenger and rider backrests, and large panniers for extended storage.

With its wide, pulled-back handlebar, low seating position, and forward-mounted footpegs, the 2003 Yamaha Road Star Silverado Silver Edition offered a low, laid-back, comfortable riding position.

As for power, the bike was fitted with the same robust and stylish 1,602cc air-cooled V-twin engine as its siblings, delivering an output power of 63 hp with a peak at 4,000 rpm and 134 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.

As for the braking performance, the Silver Edition machine packed two 298 mm discs on the front wheel with dual-piston calipers and a 320 mm disc on the rear wheel with a two-piston caliper.

When it was released, the 2003 Yamaha Road Star Silverado Silver Edition was sold for $13,299, and in 2023, the bike was for sale at $4,000.
