Vince's XV1900
Midnight Star

2006 saw the launch of the all-new Yamaha XV1900 Midnight Star cruiser. Powered by the largest Yamaha V-twin to date, this advanced new motorcycle combines advanced technology with timeless style. Driven by a high-torque 1854cc air-cooled V-twin engine running in a long-and-low high-tech aluminium chassis and with radical Neo-Streamline bodywork with superb finishing, the Yamaha XV1900 Midnight Star has become one of the jewels in the cruiser class.

In order to achieve a whole new power cruising experience for exciting cross-country riding, Yamaha have introduced sophisticated new technology to the classic large-capacity V-twin configuration. The newly designed separate left/right side balancer systems featured on the Midnight Star offer a number of benefits over the traditional balancer design.

As well as being the first Yamaha cruiser to be equipped with EXUP, the Midnight Star is also the first Yamaha in its class to feature a 3-way catalytic converter with an oxygen sensor.

The single rear shock is hidden behind the machine's bodywork, giving an attractive 'clutter-free' streamline rear end when compared to some other twin-shock cruisers. The compact, horizontally-mounted shock also helps to keep the machine's centre of gravity low - and largely because of the bike's low unsprung weight, the plush rear suspension action is going to be a revelation for many cruiser riders.

Vince's bike has had the following genuine Yamaha accessories fitted:-
Rear rest and rack, saddle bags, foot boards, engine bars, running lights, screen, cobra pipes, mud guard trims  and the front pig. Vince has also cut the screen down by 12". (See the following videos for tips)
