Overview
The 2010 Yamaha V-Star Silverado is a cruiser from the V Star family, produced for 2010. Its air-cooled 70° V-twin displaces 649 cm³ and makes 52 Nm of torque at 3000 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 264 kg.
Torque arrives at 3000 rpm, which suits a relaxed, low-rev riding style. The 709 mm seat height can make it easier to get both feet down, while the 264 kg weight takes more effort to manage at walking speed. Shaft final drive removes the need to clean or adjust a chain, and the rear shock’s adjustable preload lets riders tailor it to load and preference.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 709 mm seat height can make stops and parking-lot maneuvers easier for riders who value a lower perch.
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive avoids the routine chain cleaning and adjustment required by a chain final drive.
Adjustable rear preload
The rear shock’s adjustable preload allows suspension setup to be adapted to rider and passenger load.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 264 kg, the Silverado takes more effort to steady and maneuver at walking speed.
