Yamaha is rebranding it's cruiser range to Star Motorcycles.
"Now, a decade after the first Stars arrived, Yamaha is casting the Stars as a separate brand. Although they will continue to be sold through Yamaha dealers, Star Motorcycles gets a product development channel centered in the U.S., a separate website (www.StarMotorcycles.com), a distinct way of doing business, brand advertising and, Yamaha hopes, more prominence in dealer showrooms.
All existing Yamaha cruisers including the V-Max and Virago 250 will fall under the Star banner in ’06. The brand name may create a bit of redundancy on existing Star models, however. Star Road Star will take some getting used to. Fortunately, new members of the line won’t have model names that include “Star.”
