Key Features:
A medium-size adjustable windshield, low-profile studded touring seat with backrest and studded leather saddlebags are everything the V Star Silverado needs to be a great traveling bike.
A SOHC 40-cubic-inch V-twin feeding power through an efficient shaft drive makes a great touring package.
Rider floorboards provide great comfort on long rides, and the hardtail-looking rear end soaks up bumps with nearly four inches of rear wheel travel.
Engine:
Beautifully chromed and polished 40-cubic-inch (649cc) air-cooled, SOHC 70-degree V-twin cranks out torquey low and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance.
Forged, lightweight pistons. Greater durability and reudced vibration and reciprocating mass.
Efficient and quiet shaft drive. Requires almost no maintenance.
Ceramic-composite, cylinder-bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation. Offers better cooling and longer engine life.
Thick, cylnder cooling fins. Enhances the stylish look while increasing efficiency.
Dual, heated Mikuni® 28mm carburetors with a throttle position sensor (TPS) features a progressive pulley, electronic fuel pump and handy side-mounted air filter. Provides a consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev-range.
Wide-ratio five-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery to the asphalt.
Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, reliable performance.
Two-into-two chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling and deliver maximum low- and mid-range engine output.
Chassis/Suspension:
Stout, large-diameter steel frame is designed to provide low seat height with ample legroom.
Extra long 64-inch wheelbase produces a long, low, retro profile with spacious ergonomics that add to rider and passenger comfort and predictable handling.
Stylish heel/toe shifter adds versatility and enhances overall cruising comfort.
Comfortably placed full-size rider floorboards enhance ride by minimizing vibration and fatigue.
Telescopic 43mm front fork with chromed covers and 5.5 inches of travel ensures a smooth ride with stylish durability.
Classic, rigid-look, link-type rear end serves up 3.9 inches of rear wheel travel damped by a hidden preload-adjustable shock.
Single front disc and rear drum brakes deliver strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
Wide, retro-style handlebars evoke classic design with roomy ergonomics for enhanced rider comfort.
Fat front tire on wire-spoked wheel combines retro styling with solid handling and traction.
