　　In 2004, the Japanese manufacturer launched the Yamaha Road Star Midnight Silverado, a cruising motorcycle also known as the Wild Star in the United Kingdom market.

　　In addition to the standard equipment, the bike packed more touring-oriented accessories, including a large windshield for more weather and wind protection, a passenger backrest that added more comfort and side-mounted hard panniers for extra storage, enhancing its touring capabilities.

　　Underneath its fuel tank, the 2004 Yamaha Road Star Midnight packed a massive, stylish, and powerful 1,670cc air-cooled V-twin engine, with 75 hp on tap at 4,750 rpm and 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque with a maximum peak at 3,500 rpm.

　　In the braking department, the bike was fitted with four-piston calipers and two 298 mm discs on the front wheel. The rear wheel was stopped by a four-piston caliper with a larger 320 mm disc, delivering excellent stopping power.

　　At the time of its release, the 2004 Yamaha Road Star Midnight had an MSRP of $13,199, while in 2023, the machine was for sale at an average price of $3,000.
