2004-2009 Yamaha Road Star

Smart MoneyResemblances to any of Milwaukee's Big Twins notwithstanding, this is no down-market duplicate. Yamaha's engineers started with two big air-cooled pushrod cylinders atop a 45-pound single-pin crankshaft, but they didn't stop there. Their 48-degree V-twin puts four-valve pentroof heads atop each ceramic-coated 95mm bore. The 98-cubic-inch result was born bigger than everything else back in '99, including Harley's 88-inch Twin Cam twin.
