Engine:

• 80-cubic-inch (1304cc) liquid-cooled, single overhead cam 60-degree V-twin with dual counterbalancers offers plenty of smooth performance.

• Computer-controlled twin-barrel fuel injection provides optimal mixture whatever the temperature or altitude.

• Four valves per cylinder (36mm intake, 32mm exhaust) provide optimum combustion efficiency; roller rocker arms reduce friction for better performance and reduced wear.

• Ceramic composite cylinder sleeves contain 100mm forged pistons for excellent durability and longevity.

• 9.5:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing produce plenty of power across the board and a distinctive exhaust note.

• Forged connecting rods ride a single crankpin for true V-twin sound and power.

• Smooth-shifting transmission feeds power to an efficient, low-maintenance belt drive.

• Sly cooling system routes liquid through hidden hoses and internal engine passages for air-cooled looks and liquid-cooled performance. Oil filter is easy to get to but also tucked nearly out of sight for clean looks.

• Hydraulic cam chain tensioner reduces noise and maintenance.

Chassis/Suspension:

• Steel cradle frame has four solid engine mounts—including one atop the front cylinder head—for maximum rigidity and excellent handling.

• Stylish, braced steel swingarm and rear wheel are controlled by a single linkage-mounted shock absorber, adjustable for spring preload.

• 41mm fork tubes with stainless covers look great and serve up a smooth, controlled ride.

• The shape of the seat has been designed with a “dish” shape for great comfort, and it allows riders to touch the ground easily.

• Fuel tank carries 4.9 gallons of fuel. Mounting the fuel pump in a separate, tucked-away sub-tank allows the thin tank design.

• Seven-spoke cast wheels and matching rear pulley mount fat, 16-inch tires for a cool period look albeit with big contact patches on the road.

• A pair of 298mm front brake discs provide excellent power and feel.

• Strong, light and low maintenance belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently to the rear wheel.

Additional Features:

• The fork mounted fairing offers riders great weather protection, dynamic, sporty good looks, and houses dual speakers that offer great sound when cruising down the road.

XM® satellite radio (with subscription) and Bluetooth® wireless functionality.

• Hard, lockable side bags have spacious room for long trips or commuting, and each hold 7.6 gallons.

• Star quality paint, chrome and detailing vie for attention wherever you look; fenders are steel not plastic.

• A 3D tank emblem design adorns the V Star 1300 Deluxe and evokes a modern-classic look.
