sale in April Star Motorcycles' new entry in the 'casual full dress touring’ market segment is the 2010 Stratoliner Deluxe. It carries on Star's now-familiar 'neo-classic streamlined' styling philosophy, and marries traditional elements (an OHV, air-cooled, 1854cc V-twin) with modern technology (4 valve design, 2 plugs per cylinder, twin-bore EFI with 12-hole injectors). With a hardshell, fork-mounted ABS fairing and hard, aerodynamically shaped, top-loading saddlebags, it's otherwise dynamically similar to its Road- and Strato-Liner stablemates.
