2016 Yamaha Star Roadliner S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Yamaha's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2016 Yamaha Star Roadliner S pairs a 1851.9 cc (113 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 118.0 mm (3.9 x 4.6 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Star Roadliner S measures 340.2 kg (750 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 706 mm (27.8 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 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 304 km (189 miles) between fill-ups.
