Key Features:

A pair of streamlined leather-covered, locking, hard sidebags, an adjustable, detachable windshield, and a detachable passenger backrest make the Stratoliner an excellent traveling companion.
All-new 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled pushrod V-twin produces effortless thrust at any speed.
Twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection ensures optimum engine efficiency and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions.
Neo-streamline design, including the first seamless fuel tank on a Star cruiser, gives the Stratoliner highly distinctive, custom looks.
All-new long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and great handling, too, thanks to near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels.

Engine:

113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled pushrod 48-degree V-twin has the massive looks and performance to make the Stratoliner the king of the Star family.
Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.
Plated cylinders with forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long life. Twin counterbalancers keep it smooth but rumbly.
9.5:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board.
Computer-controlled Twin-bore fuel injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; a wide-angle 12-hole fuel injector provides excellent atomization.
Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP) inside the two-into-one exhaust system boosts torque in the 2500-3000 RPM range.
Special, NC processing of the cooling fins gives a jewellike appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles.
3300 RPM at 75 mph gives some idea of the Stratoliner's power and cruisability. Maximum torque occurs at only 2500 RPM.

Chassis/Suspension:

All-new aluminum frame is light, rigid, and requires few welds. A light, Controlled Fill swingarm casting complements the bike's streamline style.
With 49.6-percent of its weight carried on the front wheel, the Stratoliner has the weight distribution of a sportbike instead of the typical cruiser, and that means great handling.
46mm fork tubes wearing slant-cut stainless covers serve up an excellent ride and a sweet appearance.
A tucked-out-of-sight single shock out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads.
A thick, richly chromed handlebar in polished clamps carries the Stratoliner's switchgear wiring on the inside.
All-new seamless, teardrop fuel tank carries a full 4.5 gallons of fuel.
12-spoke wheels evoke a thick spoke look, but carry modern tubeless radial tires; a 130/70-18 front and a fat 190/60-17 rear.
New-design front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm front discs squeezed by strong monoblock calipers for excellent power and feel.
Strong and light belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently to the rear wheel.
Floating floorboards and an adjustable heel/toe shifter help provide a comfortable, low-effort ride.

Additional Features:

Jewel-like fit and finish, and Star quality paint, chrome and attention to detail are evident all over the Stratoliner.
New-design classic-clock style instrumentation complements Stratoliner's neo-retro look and includes analog speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge along with digital twin tripmeters, odometer and diagnostics.
Bright multireflector headlight, LED taillight and amber turnsignals behind clear lenses give a custom look.
A sliding cover over the main switch gives a clean look when the Stratoliner's parked.
Windshield and backrest lock into place for added security.
Oxygen sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions and meet EPA 2006 requirements
