YAMAHA V-Star 1300 Tourer (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha V-Star 1300, also known as the XVS1300A Midnight Star and XVS13AW, was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from 2007 to 2017. In addition to the standard model, the bike was offered in a touring version.

In 2007, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha V-Star 1300, a cruising machine part of the V-Star series that comprised motorcycles with different displacement engines and various appearances.

In addition to the standard model, Yamaha released in 2007 the V-Star 1300 Tourer, a more touring-oriented machine that packed several additional touring accessories for overall enhanced comfort.

The 2007 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer packed additional touring accessories, including a quick detachable windscreen for more wind and weather protection, a passenger backrest for more comfort, and leather-wrapped saddlebags for extra storage.

Besides that, the bike featured the same suspension, braking system, and engine as the standard model, including a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a pulled-back handlebar, a low seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

A 41 mm telescopic fork handled the front suspension, while the rear end was operated by a link-type preload-adjustable shock absorber, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

The 2007 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer was powered by a 1,304cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered around 70 hp and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque with a maximum force at 4,000 rpm.
