Yamaha's Star line of cruisers offers more choices than any brand except Harley, with six or seven engines (depending on whether you count the Royal Star and V-Max as the same basic engine) powering almost two dozen models of cruisers. Although its new 1850cc Roadliner and Stratoliner v-twins predictably got most of the attention at its 2006 new-model introductions, the rest of its 2005 model line returns for 2006 with a few new cosmetic variations.
Except the Road Star Midnight ($11,999), for which we don't have any photos, all of the 2005 Star cruisers are shown here. Though some models return at their 2005 price points, most have tacked on an additional $200 to $300. They start arriving in dealers in July, with the last few due in September.
