Neo-streamline design, including the first seamless gas tank fitted to a Star, gives the Stratoliner S a completely distinctive look.

Special custom-machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles. 3300 rpm at 75 mph gives some idea of the Stratoliner s power and cruisability. Maximum torque is reached at only 2500 rpm. Chassis/Suspension Aluminum frame is light, rigid and requires few welds. A light, Controlled-Fill swingarm casting complements the bike s streamline style. Wi
