Royal Star Tour Deluxe

2011 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2011 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe relies on a 1294.7 cc (79 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120.7 Nm (89 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 74.9 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (4,750 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Royal Star Tour Deluxe measures 382.8 kg (844 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (3.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 739 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,715 mm (67.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 358 km (222 miles) between fill-ups.
