Yamaha V-Star 650 Silverado, 2011
MSRP: $9,899 CDN
The ENGINE
- Beautifully chromed and polished 649cc (40-cubic-inch), air-cooled, SOHC, 2-valve per cylinder, 70 degree, V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power for smooth cruising performance. Maximum torque occurs at a low 3,000 rpm.
- This engine has been designed to produce strong torque and horsepower in the most usable riding range (50 to 120 km/hr).
- Twin 28mm Mikuni carbs with throttle position sensors (TPS) provide crisp throttle response.
- Wide-ratio, 5-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery. 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for a smooth comfortable ride.
- Light clutch action is perfect for novice riders.
- Transistorized coil ignition (T.C.I.) means sure starts and excellent engine performance. It is a no-maintenance design.
- Classic, chrome, side-mounted air cleaner not only adds to styling, but also makes it is easy to service the paper type air filter too.
- Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
- Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, clean, reliable performance with no chain adjustments or lube splatter.
- 2-into-2 chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling while delivering strong low- and mid-range engine output. The conversion to aftermarket mufflers is fast and simple.
- Heel-toe shifter reinforces that classic image.
- Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.
- Lots of chrome engine parts highlight quality and value.
THE CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
- Stout, large-diameter double-cradle steel frame is designed to provide a low seat height with ample rider legroom.
- Long 1,625mm (64") wheelbase provides a stable ride and predictable handling while creating that long and low look.
- Beefy 41mm front fork with Road Star-inspired shrouds offers 140mm (5.5") of wheel travel to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride. The large-diameter fork shrouds, upper triple clamp and handlebar holder are all chrome plated to highlight the value of this very stylish machine.
- 7-step, spring preload-adjustable single shock rear suspension allows the rider to tailor spring settings to match load or road conditions. Rear wheel travel is 98mm (3.9").
- Rear shock is mounted under the engine for that classic, hardtail look. By positioning the shock low in the chassis, it reduces the centre of gravity for a light, easy-to-maneuver feel.
- Single 298mm front disc brake with twin piston caliper delivers strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
- Easy-to-adjust rear drum brake with wear indicator
- Plush, low-profile, rider and passenger seats provides exceptional comfort. The low 710mm (27.9") seat height allows most riders to put feet firmly on the ground for extra confidence.
- Full-size rider floorboards with floating rubber inserts reduce vibration while providing ample legroom for maximum rider comfort.
- Police-style windshield offers great wind and weather protection while proudly displaying the Silverado insignia. This windshield offers two positions of height adjustability, and for those riders who prefer a "convertible", the windshield can be quickly removed.
- Passenger backrest provides that extra peace of mind for your special companion.
- Roomy, leather saddlebags look great, maintain their shape and provide ample storage for casual touring adventures.
- Wide retro-style handlebars fitted with extra wide levers provide a quality feel. Polished handlebar switches complete the package.
- Wide front and rear tires fitted to spoked, chrome wheels combine retro styling with solid handling and traction.
- Deeply valanced steel front and rear fenders are both durable and unmistakably classic. Their steel design means they are easy to customize and paint.
- Large 16-litre fuel tank features class-leading fuel capacity for an extra long cruising range.
- Classic fuel tank-mounted speedometer features an odometer and tripmeter displays.

Need a Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and looking for an ethical, experienced and aggressive lawyer to figure out if you may be entitled to money compensation for your serious injury?
In Florida, motorcycle accidents happen mostly because automobile drivers do not share the road. I frequently represent seriously injured motorcycle riders because a car fails to see the motorcycle and then the car pulls out into the intersection. Another common reason is that the car driver changes lanes without looking. The most frequent injuries are fractures of shoulder or wrists from going over the handlebars, or femur (long bone of the leg) fractures from laying the bike down or a side impact. Unfortunately, even at slower speeds and with a helmet, I have represented the family of fathers and sons who have died in motorcycle crashes.
As a Florida Motorcycle accident lawyer, I understand that you may want to express you individuality and freedom on the road by making the decision as an adult not to wear a helmet. The insurance company in a brain injury case will argue that you are the cause of your own injury being worse because if you were wearing a helmet the injury would not have been so bad.
I retain experts in biomechanics, who are engineers and if the evidence is available and in your favor, they can calculate the force of the impact and tell the insurance company that they are wrong. That wearing a helmet would not have made a difference. A helmet sometimes can actually make the injury worse. I am not advocating that you should not wear a helmet , it's just that wearing one does not always make a difference. It depends on the accident circumstances. Each Florida Motorcycle Accident claim will get my personal attention to detail and my 30 years of experience.
If you would like to consult for free with a Florida civil trial lawyer who is board certified as an expert in civil trial then please call 888-446-1999
There will be no charge for lawyer fees of representation or costs of representation if there is not money compensation recovery.
