Star Motorcycles has introduced the all-new V Star 1300 Deluxe as part of its 2013 lineup. Built around a 1304cc V-Twin engine with a 9.5-to-1 compression ratio, aggressive cam timing and fuel injection, the V Star 1300 Deluxe with its 2-into-1 exhaust has the sound and power you need to get up and go, according to the company.
A double-cradle steel frame contributes to an exceptionally light and nimble feeling. With the engine mounting position slightly forward for optimum front-to-rear weight distribution and its 16-inch wheels, the V Star 1300 Deluxe has outstanding handling performance. The fenders are real steel, which adds to the quality look and feel and makes for easier customization.
Another feature is the satellite and iPod-compatible, waterproof, integrated sound system with a Garmin Zumo 665 GPS unit and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.
The color-matched, lockable hard side bags are also uniquely designed for the V Star 1300 Deluxe and hold 7.6 gallons each to ensure ultimate storage.
The 2013 V Star 1300 Deluxe is available in Deep Blue with an MSRP of $13,690.
Additionally, the Star Motorcycles complete line offers a diverse variety of other models that appeal to all riders. In the touring category, the iconic Star Venture returns in Charcoal Silver/Raven followed by the 1900cc V-Twin Stratoliner S in Deep Blue, the 1700cc Road Star Silverado in Impact Blue as well as the V Star 1300 and V Star 950 Tourer each available in new colors.
The classically-styled models, highlighted by the 1900cc Roadliner S, 1700cc Road Star S, V Star 1300, V Star 950 and V Star 250 all return for 2013.
The chopper-inspired models are headlined by the exclusive Raider SCL, available in a new crimson red/black. Following are the 1900cc Raider S, which features a chrome trim in Pearl White or Candy Red, and the standard, all-black Raider. The popular Stryker with its low seat height and aggressive styling returns in Raven, Candy Red or Pearl White. All 1900cc models feature a new easy-pull clutch operation that requires 20 percent less effort at the lever.
Finally, the class-defining VMAX power cruiser will be available in purple.
