The 2013 V Star 1300 Tourer is one of the bikes in which the old-school styling is perfectly mixed with the aggressive hot-rod lines, resulting a machine that's at least as fun to ride, as it's pleasant to look at.
This ride has all the nifty features of a classic old-school cruiser, including metal fenders, a maintenance-free belt drive, a massive 1304cc (80ci) V-twin engine for solid torque straight from the low rpm, and the included leather-wrapped saddlebags for storage convenience. Even more, there are countless customization opportunities, to let owners build their dream bike.

Fuel injection makes the 2013 V Star 1300 Tourer run smooth, regardless of temperature and rpm, and thanks to intelligent mapping, this cruiser can offer up to 200 miles (320 km) between refueling stops.

Now add in the bar-mounted instrument cluster, cast wheels and floating floorboards, huge retro headlight and sculpted seat for increased comfort and you'll see what the 712 kg (322.5 kg) 2013 V Star 1300 Tourer is such a nice bike. This tourer is available since September 2012 for $12,290 (€9,620).
