Yamaha took the wraps off its new Rossi-replica R1 SE and its Star Stratoliner Deluxe cruiser, two new bikes in Yamaha and Star's 2010 lineup.

The R1 will now also be offered in an LE Limited Edition complete with Valentino Rossi/Fiat Yamaha livery including the number "46" and "The Doctor" logos. Each LE will also contain a replica of Valentino's signature on the fuel tank.
The standard 2010 R1 will be available in dealerships nationwide beginning in September 2009 with a starting MSRP of $13,290 and available in Raven, Pearl White and Team Yamaha Blue/White.
The R1 LE will be available in January 2010 with a starting MSRP of $14,500.

The Stratoliner Deluxe features a distinctive, wind shearing fairing that includes a handlebar-mounted audio control system with integrated high fidelity speakers, connectors for an iPod jack and ultra cool shorty windscreen. To compliment the fairing a pair of large, color-matched, locking hard sidebags with handy one touch openers provide spacious storage for long hauls and short trips.
It's powered by 113 cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod V-twin motor. The computer-controlled twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection with 12 hole injectors ensures optimum engine efficiency and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions. It has four-valve cylinder heads with dual spark plugs, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders and 2-into-1 exhaust with O2 sensor and three-way catalyst to reduce emissions. Star claims maximum torque is reached at just 2500 rpm.
It has a long and low aluminum frame a near 50/50 weight distribution between both wheels. Additional features include 46mm fork tubes with slant-cut chrome covers, a tucked out-of-sight single shock with adjustable spring preload, a chromed 1.25-inch oversize handlebar and large front discs with monolock brake calipers. It's belt-driven, and has floating floorboards with an adjustable heel/toe shifter.
For a clean look, the switchgear wiring is routed internal to the handlebar. The bike also has a flangeless, teardrop fuel tank, 12-spoke wheels, chrome front-brake master cylinder with integrated lever, a sculpted seat, and special custom machining of the cooling fin edges.
