Torque speaks louder than anything else anything else in this sphere and of the many fellow road users who would creep up alongside the Drag star at traffic lights, some enlightened gents did ask me (apart from the two typical question on what fuel efficiency does she deliver and what is the price) how many gears did the Yamaha have. But let’s get going in proper sequence. The bike is loaded with a gigantic 1063cc air-cooled SOHC 75-degree v-twin motor. The huge twin cylinder naked engine is fired by two Mikuni 37mm CV carbs. Keeping to the avowed aim of it being the resident Harley clone in Yamaha’s cruiser portfolio, the 1063cc mill features a simple two valves per cylinder layout but with tremendous attention to detail in the reciprocating parts. The bores are chrome composite-plated to reduce the friction, the piston are forged lightweight items and they are dynamically balanced along with the carbonized con rods to help reduce, may eliminate the one trait which scares the living daylights of non-Harley riders-vibrations.
