2018 Yamaha Star Eluder Review

So what do you do if you want a Street Glide, without the Harley. Well, your search is over, Yamaha has come up with an answer. They took the Venture and turned it into a Bagger by sending it to Action Hero school, sprinkling in some black accents and Chuck Norris beard hairs, and the result is the 2018 Star Eluder. Prices start at $22,500, which is smack dab in Street Glide territory. Packing 126 pound-feet of torque from the beefy 113 cubic inch, 1854cc V Twin engine giving you traditional v twin grunt and, thanks to a reworked 6 speed transmission, velvety smooth power delivery. While it is certainly low-revving, and is a big boy at 875 lbs, it doesnt feel like a slouch at all. The Eluder is a bruiser, mean and lean, with dashing good looks and an exhaust note to match. With several creature comforts like a 7inch LCD info-tainment center, 19 gallons of storage, and a comfy seat, you'll be tearing down I-95 to Bike Week in style. The Eluder uses a key fob, and turning the bike is a challenge for riders who are new to key fobs, as you can see here.
