  netbikes Vintage Motorcycle Road Tests. 1938 BSA M24 Gold Star
Its design is based on the BSA Empire Star which gained a "Gold Star" in the hands of Walter Handley at its first appearance in a race at Brooklands, and, by scientific reduction of weight, its acceleration has been made quite exceptional.
In this respect the Gold Star was excellent; for instance, a standing quarter-mile in 17.5 sees, or 51.4 mph, is very quick, or, to take another reading, it is equally good to reach 60 mph from a standstill in 9 sees.
These results weri obtained on a level road with the ignition lever almost full: retarded; to accelerate away no nursing of controls wa required, immediate response being obtained when thi throttle was banged wide open and the ignition advanced a; the speed increased.

 Motorcycle Online: 1999 Yamaha Road Star
While the Road Star is not a revolutionary motorcycle, the Road Star Project does represent an evolution in how Japanese manufacturers plan to grab more of the North American cruiser market.
The Road Star, on the other hand, might be the first Japanese heavyweight cruiser designed with an understanding of what traditional American enthusiasts want in a motorcycle, with both styling and engineering cues taken from Uncle Sam.
With such a heavy crankshaft, the Road Star is geared to cruise at 65 mph at about 2400 rpm and produce around 90 ft-lbs of torque at the crank, making the Road Star one of the torquiest motorcycles around.

 2000 Yamaha Road Star Silverado: MD Ride Review
Two years ago, Yamaha introduced its Road Star, featuring a 98 cubic inch (1600cc) v-twin with 99 foot pounds of torque arriving at 2250 rpm at the crank.
With 677 pounds of motorcycle underneath you, you might expect the Road Star to be clumsy in the handling department.
By all accounts, the Road Star line has been hugely successful for Yamaha -- a fact we are not surprised by after our time with this machine.

 Motorcycle Cruiser magazine road test of Yamaha Road Star
The Road Star was the first big Japanese cruiser to use belt final drive, which eliminates the noise and mess of a chain without the weight and cost of a shaft.
We don't know about long-term reliability yet (we are working on it), and the Road Star only has a one-year warranty (rather than the Royal Star's five years, plus roadside assistance), but in all other standards of measurement the Road Star is The Star among Yamaha's cruiser line.
If you are a Road Star owner, you may be interested in the Star Touring and Riding (STAR) Association, the largest Yamaha cruiser owners' club.
