amaha's 2020 cruiser and touring lineup
got a fresh update of—new colors. The
Star Venture tourer is Yamaha's premium
cross-country touring machine and has been
on the market for the previous two years.
For 2020, the Venture will get rid of the
Raspberry Metallic color in favor of the Star
Eluder's traditional Impact Blue. All other
features remain the same in the 1854cc air-
cooled OHV V-twin and infotainment systems
and start at $24,999 for the base model and
$26,999 for the Transcontinental Option
Package, with models arriving in November.
On the sport side of things, the Yamaha
YZF-R3—Yamaha's Junior Cup weapon, will
get the Monster Energy livery treatment in much the same fashion as Yamaha's Mo-
toGP machines of Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales. Mechanically, the Monster
Energy R3 remains exactly the same as the one you can currently by in the 321cc
parallel-twin four-stroke and will retail for $5599 with orders available in July. CN
New blue for the Star Venture.
The littlest sport bike
in Yamaha's lineup,
YZF-R3, gets sweet
Monster Energy
livery for 2020.
