New 2009 North American market models

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. announces the development of two new cruiser models, the “V Star 950” powered by a newly designed 950cc air-cooled 4-stroke, V-twin, fuel injected engine and the “V Star 950 Silverado” adding a windshield, side bags and a backrest as standard equipment. These models will be released on the North American market from December 2008. They are models characterized by a light, sporty riding feeling and the full body size of a real cruiser.

The new V Star 950 and V Star 950 Silverado have been developed around a product concept of a “Sporty & Classic Cruiser” that offers a chassis with easy-to-handle functionality, a ride with an enjoyable sense of pulse and a design defined by a harmonious fusion of the classic and the modern. In the North American market, where cruiser models with large-displacement engines of over 1,000cc are popular, there have been increasing calls recently for new models that are easier to handle and lighter in feeling. These new models have been developed to answer this new demand. While maintaining the basic cruiser requisites of an air-cooled V-twin engine, steel fenders, belt drive and “long & low” styling, the new models add new technologies throughout its design. They are targeted to meet the needs of a wide range of users from entry level on up.
