"Enter the impressively sleek Stratoliner Deluxe. It’s built on the exceptionally finished platform of Star’s Roadliner/Stratoliner, boasting 1854cc of air-cooled V-Twin power, a stout and light aluminum frame, and high-end fit and finish. New to the cruiser-touring Stratoliner is the addition of a streamlined version of a bat-wing fairing that looks perfectly integrated into the Strato’s existing design. A clear windscreen lip tops the slanted nose, while the rear end is defined by aerodynamic hardshell saddlebags.
In this class of bikes, a sound system is de rigeur, and Star does it in an innovative and inexpensive way. Instead of a bulky and pricey head unit that includes a radio and amplifier, Star goes the minimalist route by relying on the iPods and MP3 players of its customers. A handlebar-mounted controller provides easy access to your tunes via the integrated wiring. Amplification comes from the powered speakers in the fairing.
The new Strat Deluxe will be going into battle against new competition in its class. Along with the Street Glide and Road Glide juggernaut, it will also be compared with Victory’s new Cross Country.
Nearly all Japanese OEMs are raising the MSRPs of their motorcycles, so the Deluxe’s $17,490 shouldn’t be overly shocking. See it at your local dealer in January."
