Premium Member Mr.Puss Posted September 9, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 9, 2017 The Yamaha "Star Venture" was posted here previously and I'm sure plenty of you have seen this newest version, the Yamaha Bagger "Star Eluder"? As a general personal preference I dont dig this class of scooter, but I really like the styling on this chunky blacked out version that looks like it came straight out of some Japanese anime like 'Macross' or 'Mobile Suit Gundam' etc. Pew! Pew! What are your impressions? https://rideapart.com/articles/called-yamaha-unveils-bagger Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.

jbone Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I don't love it, but I also don't hate it either. It's unique and it looks quite comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockpointer Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Personally I would ride the shat out of it. I have a Voyager 1200 for 2up road trips and was looking at a Wing or F6b as an upgrade. Now the plot thickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I am not a young person 25 years from retirement and I can't stand em (I am 64). BUT i am in the ulysses club and the comment is quite valid. The vast majority of them ride cruisers or trikes. I find the idea just aweful, but I think a lot of people go through like thinking " one day I will get a motorcycle and easyrider around" so they get a giant lump.

YZEtc Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I don't actually hate it. It's just one of the last bikes I'd want to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted September 13, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2017 I like it. If I was looking for a cruiser it would definitely be a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecmar44 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I have a love/hate relationship with it. Being that the price is so close to the venture, it would be a difficult sell in terms of comfort for the mrs. (the only reason i'd get a bagger/tourer).

Zephyr Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Two up long road trips.... Maybe. But there's no 2-up for me and the wife (wife won't ride) and there's certainly no long road trips where I live, so I think I'll pass. That seat does look comfy though and I like the full color info screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm riding a bike that's trying to imitate a H.D. I would rather ride a comfy sport touring bike that has it all and handles way better. https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport-touring/models/fjr1300es Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalsteve Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I wouldn't mind a bagger to take the wife on.... doubt I'd lean towards this over something like a Street Glide however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
