2005 Yamaha Road Star Silverado, This Fresh Silverado Is A Real Road Star The brawny Road Star Silverado® thundered onto the cruiser scene in 1999, taking it by storm with its sheer size, classic retro styling and heaps of torque. This 2005 is the refinement of that initial offering. It´s hardly a mystery why this belt-driven mega-machine made such a huge impression. Great looks, good handling, plenty of power and a bunch of panache turned heads everywhere. And it's home to a gigantic new 102 cubic-inch air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV 48° twin engine that pumps out huge amounts of torque barely off idle for brisk acceleration and fantastic overall cruising performance. Power, great looks, great ride ... what more could you ask for in a cool cruiser?
