YAMAHA V-Star 1300 Deluxe (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha V-Star 1300 was a cruising machine manufactured by Yamaha from 2007 to 2017, part of the V-Star series. The bike was the successor of the V-Star 1100 model and was designed as a mid-to-high-level production motorcycle available in standard and Tourer versions.

The standard model packed classic-looking features, while the Tourer was equipped with additional touring accessories, including a tall windscreen, a passenger backrest, and leather-covered saddlebags.

Later, the Japanese motorcycle maker added another version to its range, the Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe. It packed the exact technical specifications as the standard and Tourer versions, sharing its suspension, engine, and braking system but with a different style.

In 2005, Yamaha launched the V-Star 1300 Deluxe, a touring machine that came in the same form as previous models, packing a wide fork-mounted cowl that covered the entire handlebar for better wind and weather protection.

In addition, the Deluxe version was fitted with a small windscreen that enhanced wind and weather protection, a two-piece dual seat with a low riding position, and color-matched saddlebags for extra storage.

The bike also featured an audio system with iPhone and iPod compatibility and a Garmin Zumo 665 GPS with a motorcycle-friendly navigation system, offering weather and traffic conditions, lane assist, and a 3D building view.

As for performance, the 2015 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe boasted 70 hp available at the rider's wrist and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque with a maximum peak at 4,000 rpm.
