Destination Anywhere.

When you’re ready to travel in big-time style, the Stratoliner is ready to roll at a moment’s notice with a lockable quick-release windshield, passenger backrest, and lockable sidebags covered in leather. Even the key is a work of art.

 

Key Features:

– A pair of streamlined leather-covered, locking, hard sidebags, an adjustable, quick-detachable windshield and a quick-detachable passenger backrest make the Stratoliner excellent for long hauls and short trips.

– Powerful and beautiful 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod V-twin produces great 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, gives the Stratoliner a completely distinctive look.

– Long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and light handling unlike any other full-size cruiser, thanks to a low center of gravity feel and a near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels.

– The Star® Accessories Catalog is packed full of high-quality parts that invite Star owners to fully express their individuality.

Engine:
– 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod 48-degree V-twin has massive looks and performance.

– Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.

– Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long life.

– Twin counterbalancers keep things smooth but rumbly.

– 9.48:1 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; wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization.

– Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) inside the two-into-one exhaust system boosts torque in the 2500-3000-rpm range.

– Special custom-machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like 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 is reached at only 2500 rpm.


Chassis/Suspension:
– Aluminum frame is light, rigid and requires few welds for a smooth, clean look. 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 Midnight 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 with adjustable spring preload out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads.

– A thick, richly chromed 1.25-inch handlebar carries the Stratoliner Midnight’s switchgear wiring on the inside.

– Flangeless, 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.

– 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:
– A resculpted seat makes the Stratoliner Midnight an excellent place to sit on long rides.

– Left-thumb operated high-beam switch, and right-thumb activated accessory driving light switch for great visibility.

– Jewel-like fit and finish, and Star quality paint, chrome and attention to detail are evident all over the Stratoliner Midnight.

– Classic clock-style instrumentation complements Stratoliner Midnight’s neo-retro look and contains analog speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge, along with twin digital tripmeters, odometer and self-diagnostics.

– Bright multi-reflector headlight, LED taillight and amber turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look.

– Leather-covered, locking, hard sidebags, a quick-removable windshield that locks into place and a locking, quick-detachable passenger backrest provide security.

– 0xygen sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.

– Sidebags detach easily for cleaning.
