Yamaha Stratoliner 1900

The Yamaha Stratoliner 1900 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; electronically limited in some markets), produces 72 hp and weighs 358 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

La Yamaha Stratoliner (XV1900A) se presentó en 2006 como parte de la gama Star Cruiser, con el motor bicilíndrico en V de mayor cilindrada de Yamaha, con 1.854 cc. Se diseñó para competir directamente con los grandes cruceros de estilo americano, y ofrece un perfil largo y bajo con mandos avanzados y un aspecto clásico inspirado en los coches de cola dura. La Stratoliner permaneció en producción hasta 2013 y se ofrecía tanto en la variante estándar como en la Deluxe (S), lo que le valió elogios por su suave entrega de potencia y su cómoda capacidad para recorrer largas distancias.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Bulletproof 1900cc Engine

The Star Stratoliner's 1854cc V-twin (marketed as 1900) is known for exceptional long-term reliability, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

The shaft drive system can develop leaks or whine if the gear oil isn't changed regularly — inspect for oil seepage around the rear drive housing before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Retention

The Stratoliner holds its value better than many cruisers in its class due to limited production numbers and its premium bagger styling, making it a smart used buy with good resale potential.

"El pesado matón de Yamaha que realmente aguanta su volumen."

El motor bicilíndrico en V de 1854 cc se mueve como un tren de carga a partir de 2000 rpm; esa cifra de par de 166 Nm no es ficción publicitaria, sino que realmente te hace volver a caer en las rampas de acceso de las autopistas. Con 381 kg en superficie mojada, puedes sentir cada kilo al maniobrar lentamente en un estacionamiento, pero una vez que ruedas, el asiento bajo de 700 mm y las barras anchas te dan una confianza sorprendente en las curvas pronunciadas. La inyección de combustible supuso un auténtico diferenciador en 2006 frente a la competencia con carburadores: los arranques en frío son nítidos, sin estrangulamientos ni tropiezos. La principal queja sincera es la gestión del calor: los muslos y el tobillo derecho se cocinan cuando se conduce en verano por la ciudad, y la nota de escape original es cortésmente tenue para una bicicleta de este tamaño.

Pros

+Par utilizable casi al ralentí
+FI impecable en todas las condiciones
+Asiento bajo accesible para pasajeros
+La estabilidad de las carreteras inspira genuinamente confianza

Contras

Absorción térmica intensa en el tráfico
El escape de serie es decepcionantemente silencioso
El peso del estacionamiento te atrapa
Lo mejor para: Pilotos de turismo que quieren un ruido de bicilíndricos en V Omitir si: Odias el filtrado urbano pesado
2011–2013 Gen 2

Actualizaciones menores, como la revisión de las opciones de color y los detalles de acabado; la mecánica se mantuvo prácticamente sin cambios.

Experienced cruiser riders wanting reliable long-distance comfort

"A Harley alternative that's more reliable and equally satisfying."

$6,000-$9,500 used

The Stratoliner 1900 is Yamaha's answer to the heavyweight cruiser market, and honestly? It's a seriously underrated bike. That 1854cc Star engine pulls hard from low revs with genuine torque you can feel in your chest, and the shaft drive means zero maintenance headaches. It's not trying to be a Harley — it's smoother, more reliable, and mechanically tighter than most Big Twins you'll find at the same price point used. That said, this thing is heavy. 380-plus pounds wet, and you'll know about every pound when you're wrestling it out of a tight parking spot. The floorboards also limit lean angle more than you'd expect, so aggressive canyon carving isn't really on the menu. Parts availability has gotten spottier as these age out of dealer networks, so find a good independent mechanic before you buy. For used money — typically $6,000-$9,500 depending on year and condition — you're getting a genuinely premium touring cruiser. Low mileage examples are surprisingly common since these attracted older buyers who didn't rack up massive miles.
