Overview

The 2013 Yamaha Royal Star Venture S is a touring motorcycle from the Royal Star family. Its liquid-cooled, 1294 cm³ 70-degree V-four has DOHC and four valves per cylinder, and produces 97 hp (72 kW); the motorcycle weighs 394 kg.

The 749 mm seat height gives the bike a relatively low seat position, while its 394 kg weight makes slow-speed handling more demanding. Air-assisted front and rear suspension can be adjusted for support, the fifth gear is an overdrive for cruising, and shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment. Its tank capacity is 23.1 liters.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Shaft drive

    There is no chain to clean or adjust.

  • Air-assisted suspension

    Air assistance lets the rider adjust suspension support.

  • Overdrive fifth gear

    The overdrive fifth gear is suited to relaxed cruising.

Things to consider

  • Heavy at low speed

    At 394 kg, the motorcycle takes more effort to balance and maneuver at walking pace.

  • Long footprint

    Its 2654 mm length can make parking and tight turns more challenging.
