2006 Yamaha V Star Silverado specifications, pictures, reviews and rating

Yamaha's profilation of this bike
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 middleweight 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.
