- Now for something a little different here at Cycle News. Today we're testing the brand new Yamaha Star Eluder, the bagger version of Yamaha's grand tourer, the Star Venture.
We had this bike for a day around the hills of San Diego with some staff from Yamaha Motor USA and it's quite a compelling bike.
This machine is up against bikes like the Honda F6B and BMW K 1600 GT. How does it go? Check the video to find out.

Here in May 2020. Dealers are selling 18 GT models for $15200. A great time to be a motorcycle buyer !
These companies are paying close attention to the costum harley bagger market. It pains me to say that this bike looks bad ass.
Picked a new one up for $14999. Love it
It looks like the "Lake" has shrunk even more since I left 14 years ago. Some of the best riding I ever had was in Socal.
Touch sensitive screen useable with gloves? That is something the 2018 CVO FLHTK doesn't do, and that was $50,000.
Thanks for the review! I think this bike should be badged Stratoliner Ultra... It's not a V-4 it's an 1854ci V-Twin like the Strat...
It's been many years since I rode to Henshaw. It looks kind of dried up. Still nice riding around there, jullian, alpine.
Do you know if the Eluder will be released into Australia
Motorcycle looks pretty big. How it fits for tall riders and what is your height?
What’s the price
Heated grips and seats standard. Adjustable screen on Indian Chieftain Dark horse. Very surprised the engine is air-cooled with emission laws being the way they are the US. Will this bike to Australia? I'm 5'8 - too short. Headlight set up is impressive.
Geez... In the off postion you click it down. It powers on and you turn it to run. There is nothing wrong with th the switch you just don't know how to use it.
YAMAHA is an awesome motorcycle company! I do like the new Venture except for the v twin air cooled engine , and the weight 958 lbs ! I was disappointed that they used the v-twin, i was hoping they would have used the 1700 VMAX motor!
Nice
I just want to say brother you are one of the few that really know how to make a review thank you I appreciate it and I hope you choose other models light Honda Goldwing or some of the others because you really Target the point of what we need to know
Thanks, Miguel. Hoping to get on a 'Wing soon!
Nice bike. Seems like the review video should have just started at the 5:10 mark.
quality review.... thx!
You have to push in when you turn the switch to on. lol
Heated grips, Electric windshield and Backrest? Just buy the Venture...
Ppl say as you may Yamaha is probably the best Motorcycles around there all I’ve ever own bride the shit out of them.There Tough as bikes
I would think before doing a review one would learn how to turn it on. First time you can have trouble but it is easy. You just hold button down for one second and then turn it on. Very simple and this review is misleading.
I'm sorry you feel that way but this was a problem I experienced across the day.
So you admit that you were doing it wrong all day long, and you're blaming the bike ?

Cycle News I agree with you, the switch is dinky.
The fact that the new Goldwing is about 200 pounds lighter than this air cooled V twin makes me wonder why this is. With 2 adult passengers, you are left with a meager luggage weight allowance- which for a long distance tourer bike is an unfortunate limitation. Think about it: fully loaded with 2 passengers and gear you arrive at 3/4 ton.
northerniltree the GW is lighter which is a good thing but i am disappointed in the size of the bags and the trunk also the the small gas tank.
It has everything but looks. If you are going to have a air cooled V-twin engine let's see it. The cowlings and air filter cover it all up and make it look like a wantabe sport bike.
keren brother mantap
If I can find one I will by it. However, I cannot find one.
For the same price you get a rather basic Harley road king touring bike, so be happy. I love my Harley but they are very expensive.
Honest reveiw Brother!,,-,2018 Kawasaki 1700 base, $17500,new,watercooled 6 speed, ,never needs valve adjustments. I like to see your test on Kawasaki 1700,tour(,looks like more bang for the buck than Yamaha ).Thanks !,, you save me many days of test riding*P S ,EYE AWAYS ,sneak in shop,& check out the shop techs.,,most will tell you straight out,, thumbs up ,or thumbs down on a bike ,,THEN ALWAYS LOOK AT WHAT A TECH-MAN IS RIDING !!☆☆,LOL. -☆
17,500? I got mine for 14k out the door.
They both cost too damn much. To slow. Should have put the Vmax engine in it. To damn heavy. I love it!!!!!!!!
The 113 ft pounds at 9000 Vmax ?
too expensive!
Lots of talk but no ride shown ???
Geez, change the windscreen to taller ones, get a heated grip version. You complain too much
It is shocking for as much as that bike costs how much these corporate pigs have skimped on this bike. I want to like this bike but they are making me hate it.
$23,000 and it's air-cooled? NEXT!
If I wanted air cooled I would buy a Harley. It having liquid cooling is a big turn off when buying a Japanese motocycle. Most people buy metrics so they don't have to worry about a hot engine in traffic. I've owned 2 Harley's for 17 years and you gotta avoid traffic on a hot day. They will cook and get hot after awhile. So will a Yamaha air cooled is air cooled , there's nothing magical about it because it's a Yamaha and not a Harley. Cools the same way and gets hot the same way. So I had to go with Kawasaki to get a big twin cruiser that won't get hot
I get the feeling he is an actor not a motorcycle rider . 🤔
I CAN NOT BUY IT IN EUROPE....FUCK....Now I will take bmw k1600b...Hope we will see it here soon...
ulan bu motoru az uzaktan göstersene. bu nasıl çekim?
dude read the manual next time.. lol
Why would I buy a modern bike that requires valve adjustments?
Nope. Not happening.
This bike is a no go

Buang Scorpio...
Maybe they should get someone who doesn't lack dexterity and intelligence to do the review. It would be so much more informative. And maybe consider someone who actually knows something about the bike. Just a suggestion.
Seems clearly the only dinky thing going on here is the lack of knowledge of the bike😂, couldn't bother to read the manual ?
What Boring review..
Super heavy, bad gas mileage 32MPG $6000 over priced not worth $26000 for that much you could get Indian roadmaster 42MPG holds its value and much batter looking
