2021 Yamaha Star Venture Base

2021 Yamaha Star Venture

This "top-of-the-line" transcontinental tourer combines emotional V-Twin performance with cutting-edge comfort and technology.

• High Torque Engine with Cutting-Edge Rider Aids

Featuring a torque-rich 1854cc air-cooled V-twin, Star Venture® produces smooth, effortless passing power even when fully loaded. And with ride-by-wire throttle control, traction control and selectable riding modes, the Star Venture brings class-leading technology to the luxury touring class.

• Yamaha Sure-Park System

With Star Venture’s Sure-Park™ System, parking maneuvers are a breeze, even when fully loaded. Controlled from the handlebar, an electric motor provides forward and reverse drive to assist during tricky parking situations, especially on rough or poor traction surfaces.

• High Tech Meets High Torque

A massive 1854cc air-cooled V-twin powers the Star Venture for effortless passing power even when fully loaded. Yamaha's refined four-valve, twin-spark-plug, pent-roof engine design delivers exceptional power and drivability.

• Smooth Running and Charismatic

The Star Venture engine delivers huge torque with a thrilling V-twin pulse, and thanks to lightweight forged alloy pistons, carefully-tuned counterbalancers and advanced engine mounts, the Star Venture creates a luxuriously smooth ride for days in the saddle without fatigue.

• Agile, High-Rigidity Frame

The optimal rigidity of the main steel frame is tuned for excellent handling and responsiveness while the rear subframe makes use of Yamaha’s advanced aluminum die-casting techniques to reduce weight and centralize mass even further. The balanced chassis gives the Star Venture a combination of solid straight-line stability with agility on the curviest of roads.

• Centralized Mass

Thanks to the semi-dry-sump engine, advanced frame design and careful positioning of major components, direction changes require less effort, offering a more engaged ride with less fatigue.

• Plush, Large-Diameter Fork

The 46mm telescopic fork features damping and spring rates that were specifically selected to offer an ideal balance of bump absorption and high speed handling, all without losing the light and responsive road feel. The Star Venture is a true rider's machine, combining real-world road-holding performance with the plush comfort expected from a luxury touring motorcycle.

• LED Lighting

The Star Venture features all-LED lighting to maximize illumination. LED brake lights and turn signals boost visibility while the quad LED headlight assembly punches a huge hole in the darkness with crisp, bright light.

• Generous Luggage System

Star Venture features a cavernous 37.3 gallons of volume across the saddlebags, Tour Trunk and upper and lower fairing storage compartments. Plus, the Transcontinental Option Package offers an additional pair of easily accessible passenger storage compartments, boosting storage capacity to over 38 gallons.
