YAMAHA Road Star Warrior (2002-2003) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Road Star Warrior was a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2002 and continued production until 2010. The bike combined a classic design complemented by modern technology, resulting in a low and mean machine.

In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle maker launched the Yamaha Road Star Warrior, and just like its name says, it looks like a warrior amongst motorcycles. Its long, low, and mean profile was complemented by a two-into-one chromed exhaust system with a massive silencer.

In the visual department, the bike was equipped with standard features, such as a round headlight, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped tank, a two-piece dual seat, a side stand, a two-into-one exhaust system with a single silencer mounted on the right side, and three-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 41 mm Kayaba inverted telescopic fork on the front with 135 mm of travel and link-type preload and rebound-adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 110 mm of travel, offering excellent handling capabilities.

In the performance department, the 2002 Yamaha Road Star Warrior had installed a 1,670cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically-controlled fuel injection system, delivering 84 hp at 4,400 rpm and 135 Nm (99 lb-ft) torque at 3,750 rpm.

The power was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and sent to the rear end through a low-maintenance final belt drive.
