The Yamaha XV1900A was a cruiser motorcycle known as Roadliner that debuted in 2006 and continued production until 2017. The bike was sold in the American market through Yamaha's Star Motorcycles division and was the largest motorcycle while in production.
In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Roadliner Midnight, a cruiser motorcycle that packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model.
Unlike the standard and S versions of the Roadliner, which came with many chromed elements, the Midnight model featured a blacked-out appearance, with most chrome painted black and enhanced by a few shiny details.
The darkened look was represented by black-finished components, such as the headlight housing, front fork, fenders, fuel tank, frame, engine, cylinder heads, and several chromed elements, such as the exhaust system, turn signal housings, and more.
The bike had standard features, such as a round headlight, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a comfortable two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, and 12-spoke lightweight wheels.
Underneath its stylish fuel tank, the 2009 Yamaha Roadliner Midnight had installed a 1,854cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine, managed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 99 hp with maximum strength at 4,250 rpm and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.
