Yamaha Road Star 1700

雅马哈 Road Star（XV1600/XV1700）于 1999 年以 XV1600A 的名义推出，配备了巨大的 1602cc V 型双缸发动机，旨在直接与哈雷戴维森的巡洋舰阵容竞争。2004年，雅马哈将发动机钻孔至1670cc（以1700的名义销售），并将其更名为Road Star 1700，一直生产到2013年。它因其大排量风冷V型双缸发动机、推杆发动机设计以及包括Silverado和Warrior变体在内的大量定制选项而著称。

买家应该知道什么
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The 1670cc air-cooled V-twin is known for exceptional longevity, with many owners reporting 100,000+ miles with basic maintenance. It's widely considered one of the most bulletproof cruiser engines ever built.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive system can develop leaks around the rear drive seal, especially on higher-mileage bikes — inspect for oil weeping near the rear wheel before buying. Repairs are manageable but can run $200–$500 if neglected.
Strong Resale Value
Road Stars hold their value notably well compared to other cruisers in their class, thanks to their reputation for durability and a loyal enthusiast community. A well-maintained example typically sells for 70–80% of its original price even after several years.
按年份划分的世代和规格
推出 1670cc 风冷 V 型双缸、化油器、经典巡洋舰造型、皮带驱动、五速变速箱。
"诚实、扭矩大的巡洋舰，每英里都能获胜。"
1670cc 的 V 型双缸几乎从无到有 —— 在 2,500 rpm 的转速下打破油门，皮带传动只会带着这种令人满意的机械咕噜声向前推进，这是任何安装在橡胶上的现代双胞胎都无法伪造的。座椅高度为 700 毫米意味着身材矮小的骑手可以轻松抬起双脚，而低重心让 309 千克的重量在你滚动时感觉减轻了大约 40 千克。在寒冷的早晨，化油器需要进行适当的预热，与当时的日本标准相比，五速变速箱感觉模糊不清——在机油升温之前，第一到第二的换档可能会很笨重。但是对于低于 130 km/h 的全天高速公路巡航来说，这简直是毫不费力，而且这些发动机的可靠性记录确实令人印象深刻——我见过 100,000 公里的 Road Stars 仍在原有的内部结构上。

缺点
增加了燃油喷射，更新了进气和排气系统，对外观进行了细微的改进，保留了相同的基本发动机架构。
"扭矩怪物可以奖励耐心、刻意的骑手。"
燃油喷射几乎完全消除了第一代冷启动的烦恼——一月份的首次启动已不再是谈判了。145 牛米的转速约为 2,800 rpm，然后用推土机向前推进；你不是在加速这个东西，而是像油门操作的载货电梯一样靠在它上面。操控性是可以预见的，但是 318 千克的湿重在停车场的速度下需要尊重——我曾经把我的东西丢到加油站，感觉到了每一克。需要权衡的是接近心灵感应的高速稳定性，而在宽阔的双车道高速公路上，这辆自行车确实很难用这笔钱来改进。

二手买家评论
"A tough, characterful cruiser that rewards patient, attentive buyers enormously."
$4,500-$9,000 usedThe Road Star 1700 is old-school American cruiser done right, but with Japanese reliability underneath all that chrome. That air-cooled V-twin pulls hard from basically nothing — roll the throttle in fifth at 40mph and it just goes. No drama, no hunting, just torque. It's the kind of engine that makes you forget fuel injection exists, and honestly, carbed versions feel more characterful anyway. Buy one with decent service history and you're looking at a bike that'll outlast most of its riders. The frame and drivetrain are genuinely bulletproof if maintained. What kills them is neglect — look for rust in the carb, cracked fuel lines, and seized brake callipers on bikes that sat. Front forks get soft over time, budget for a rebuild. Check the rear shocks too, originals are garbage past 20,000 miles. It's heavy, it's wide, and it doesn't pretend to be anything other than a boulevard cruiser. No ABS, no riding modes, no nonsense. If that appeals to you, brilliant. If you need modern safety tech, look elsewhere.
