YAMAHA V-Star 1300 Tourer (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2014 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer was a more touring-oriented machine than the standard model, featuring additional touring accessories that enhanced its overall touring capabilities.

The Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer was part of the V-Star series in Yamaha's range, which comprised motorcycles with various styles and different displacement engines. The V-Star 1300 was intended as a mid-to-high-level cruiser and was available in standard and touring versions.

The 2014 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight with a chromed housing, turn signals with clear lenses, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

In addition to its standard features, the 2014 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer came with a tall windscreen that enhanced wind and weather protection, leather-covered saddlebags for extra storage, and a pillion backrest for added comfort.

In the power department, the 2014 V-Star 1300 Tourer had its heartbeat set by a 1,304cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering a force of 70 hp and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine power was handled by a five-speed transmission and delivered to the rear wheel through a low-maintenance shaft drive.

The braking power was achieved by dual-piston calipers with two 298 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a single-piston caliper with a 282 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel, delivering strong stopping power.
