YAMAHA Royal Star Tour Deluxe (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe was a middleweight cruising motorcycle that debuted in 1997. The bike had a dual exhaust system with two mufflers mounted on each side, a tall windscreen, and hard side-mounted saddlebags.

In the visual department, the cruising motorcycle had standard features, such as a large, round headlight on the front, a tall windscreen, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest, side-mounted hard panniers, and seven-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels with fat tires.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 43 mm air-assisted adjustable telescopic fork on the front with 142 mm of travel and an air-assisted adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 104 mm of travel, providing excellent handling capabilities.

The braking power was handled by two 298 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 320 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2005 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe had installed a 1,294cc four-stroke V-4 liquid-cooled engine managed by four Mikuni carburetors, delivering an output power of 98 hp and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.

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