2018 Yamaha Star Venture XV1900 6spd ABS & Reverse – SN557

🏍️ Yamaha XV1900 Star Venture – Now in the UK for the First Time!

Imported Direct from Florida | Rare Opportunity in the UK Market

Experience true American touring excellence with the Yamaha XV1900 Star Venture—a bike that never made its way to UK showrooms, until now. We are thrilled to present this exclusive import, delivered directly from Florida, representing the pinnacle of V-twin luxury, performance, and long-haul comfort.

Heritage and Background: A Modern Legacy Built on Classic Foundations

The Yamaha Star Venture was first introduced in 2017 as a bold reimagination of the brand’s flagship touring lineage. Drawing from Yamaha’s earlier Venture Royale models of the 1980s and early 2000s, the XV1900 was crafted not only as a nod to that legacy but as a ground-up redesign for the 21st century.

Yamaha built the Star Venture to compete head-to-head with America’s heavyweight cruisers—namely Harley-Davidson and Indian. The bike was assembled at Yamaha’s facility in Newnan, Georgia, making it a genuine American-made machine with Japanese engineering excellence. The result? A muscular, tech-forward touring cruiser that’s both authentically American with Japanese mechanical refinement.

Design Philosophy: A Luxurious Machine on Two Wheels

The XV1900 Star Venture is built around a 113 cubic inch (1854cc) air-cooled V-twin engine derived from Yamaha’s well-loved Roadliner and Stratoliner platforms. This torquey, smooth-revving motor is tuned for effortless long-distance cruising, delivering powerful roll-on acceleration even at highway speeds.

Yamaha’s designers paired this engine with a completely reengineered frame and fully integrated technology suite:

• Belt Drive for smooth, low-maintenance power delivery

• 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch and overdrive

• Selectable riding modes

• Yamaha Sure-Park™ system (electric reverse and forward assist for parking)

• Full infotainment system with GPS, USB, and integrated communications

• Heated seats and grips for both rider and passenger

• Advanced suspension with preload adjustability for different load configurations

Every detail of the Star Venture reflects a commitment to luxury, ergonomics, and rider convenience—from its cavernous luggage capacity to its cruise control and spacious pillion setup.

Star Venture vs. Eluder: Why the Venture Is the True Flagship

While Yamaha released both the Star Venture and the Eluder in the U.S., only one was designed to be the ultimate touring machine. Here’s how the Star Venture surpasses the Eluder in every meaningful way:

• Top Box & Passenger Comfort
  The Star Venture comes with a full-size top trunk, complete with a plush passenger backrest and rear audio speakers. The Eluder? No trunk and no rear speakers—just hard panniers.

• Sure-Park™ Assist System
  Parking a heavy tourer has never been easier. The Star Venture features Yamaha’s exclusive Sure-Park™ system, offering electric forward and reverse assist. The Eluder does not include this feature.

• Heated Seats & Grips
  The Venture includes heated seats for both rider and passenger, as well as heated hand grips—all controlled through the onboard infotainment system. The Eluder lacks this level of comfort.

• Infotainment and Connectivity
  The Star Venture boasts Yamaha’s full infotainment suite, complete with CB radio, intercom compatibility, GPS navigation, Bluetooth, and USB ports. The Eluder has a more basic infotainment setup with fewer connectivity options.

• Touring Windscreen
  The Venture includes a tall, electronically adjustable windscreen, ideal for long-haul rides. The Eluder’s screen is shorter and manually adjusted.

• Suspension and Ride Comfort
  The Star Venture’s suspension is tuned for maximum touring comfort, especially with a pillion and luggage. The Eluder is slightly sportier, with a stiffer setup and lighter weight.

Why It’s Special – Especially Here in the UK

This is more than just a cruiser. The Star Venture is a rolling grand tourer, a highway-dominating luxury liner that brings together power, comfort, technology, and rarity. Yamaha never officially brought this model to the UK market, which makes this unit:

• Incredibly rare on British roads

• A head-turning conversation piece at rallies, shows, or cafés

• A collector’s dream and a long-distance rider’s fantasy come true

For those seeking something truly different from the mainstream Harley or Goldwing offerings, the Star Venture stands as a statement of uniqueness and prestige.
