Cruisers and baggers have definitely made a statement this time around with multiple releases including the Honda Gold Wing, BMW K1600 B and K1600 B Grand America. Joining the bandwagon is Yamaha’s latest Star Eluder that has garnered heaps of attention since its release recently.
These transcontinental touring bikes certainly did not disappoint its audience and indeed tops the charts with its amazing specifications and performance. It features an all-new, air-cooled V-twin engine with 1845cc displacement and 126 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to a six-speed transmission and belt final drive.
The Eluder comes with a 27.6-inch seat height with a narrow front so that riders will be able to get both feet flat on the ground when the bike is stationed. It is has an 18-gallon storage space.

Riders are able to handle the bike easily considering that the bike does all the work rather smoothly by itself. The bike makes street traffic and corners pleasant. It is equipped with an ABS braking system and standard cruise control.
Not to mention, the Eluder also has a state-of-the-art infotainment system through a 7-inch touchscreen dash monitor and multibutton switching mechanism on the handlebars.
A bagger of attention indeed! What do you think is the best bagger?
