Yamaha Star Venture 1900
The Yamaha Star Venture 1900 has a top speed of 185 km/h (est.), produces 105 hp and weighs 432 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
Die Yamaha Star Venture wurde für das Modelljahr 2018 als Yamahas Flaggschiff-Tourenmotorrad eingeführt. Sie ersetzte die Royal Star Venture und wurde entwickelt, um direkt mit dem Honda Gold Wing und der Harley-Davidson Electra Glide zu konkurrieren. Es ist mit Yamahas CP2-inspiriertem 1854-cm3-V-Twin-Motor (vermarktet als 1900-cm³-Klasse) mit einem ausgeklügelten Funktionsumfang wie einem 7-Zoll-Touchscreen, beheizten Sitzen und einem Premium-Audiosystem ausgestattet. Das Venture war Yamahas ernsthafter Wiedereinstieg in das Ultratouring-Segment und bot eine transkontinentale Touring-Plattform mit japanischer Zuverlässigkeit und moderner Technologie.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The 1854cc air/oil-cooled V-twin shares its core architecture with Yamaha's proven Royal Star lineage, giving it a strong reputation for longevity with proper maintenance. Many owners report 50,000+ miles with minimal drivetrain issues.
Watch the Infotainment System
The built-in touchscreen audio and navigation system is a common complaint point, with some owners reporting glitches, slow response, and Bluetooth connectivity issues over time. Budget for potential dealer software updates or unit replacement.
Strong Resale Value
The Star Venture holds its value better than many touring competitors due to its premium features and Yamaha's reliability reputation, often retaining 70-80% of its value after two years. Its discontinuation after 2023 may further tighten used market supply.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A legitimate touring weapon if you buy a well-maintained example carefully."
$14,000-$19,000 usedThe Star Venture is Yamaha's answer to the touring throne, and honestly? It comes closer than most people give it credit for. The 1854cc parallel-twin pulls hard from low revs with none of that HD shake-and-bake vibration, and the infotainment system was genuinely ahead of its time when these dropped in 2018. Cruise control, heated grips, and that massive fairing make 400-mile days feel like work trips rather than punishment. That said, go in with eyes open on a used example. The infotainment screens are a known weak point — dead pixels and touchscreen dropout are common complaints past 30k miles. Also check the tire wear pattern carefully; owners who ignored the recommended tire pressures tend to run the rear square in a hurry. Budget for a fresh set of shoes if the previous owner wasn't diligent. Electronics gremlins can also surface, so insist on a full function check before handing over cash.
