Overview
The Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer is a cruiser from the V Star family, produced from 2007 through 2017. For 2017, its liquid-cooled 1,311.0 cm³ V-twin makes 74 hp (55 kW); wet weight is 323 kg and dry weight is 303 kg.
A 691 mm seat gives the bike a low seating position, while its 323 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. The seat height was lowered from 714 mm for 2012. Its belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and the saddle bags provide built-in storage. The 18.6-liter tank and fuel consumption of 5.60 liters/100 km correspond to a calculated full-tank range of about 332 km.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
At 691 mm, the seat makes it easier for many riders to get their feet down at a stop.
Belt final drive
The belt eliminates routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Built-in storage
Saddle bags give the Tourer space to carry items without adding separate luggage.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 323 kg wet, the bike takes more effort to maneuver around parking spaces and tight turns.
Moderate tank range
The calculated range is about 332 km per full tank, so longer rides may require fuel stops at that interval.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
