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.
