About the Yamaha XVS950 Midnight Star

V-shaped cylinder fins

Look at the XVS950A and your eyes are immediately drawn to the muscular engine. The beautiful cylinder fin layout adds to the classic style, with the fins shaped to create a 'V'. The classic cruiser image is accentuated by the buff finish on the cylinder head fins to give a handsome, high quality feel.

High-torque engine

Open up the XVS950A, and you'll soon understand why it's considered a classic cruiser. This Midnight Star comes with a high-torque 942cc, air-cooled V-twin 4-valve SOHC engine. This fuel-injected powerplant gives the bike the kind of gutsy performance that begs for long, cross-country drives.

Gutsy pulse

If you appreciate the primeval pleasure to be had from the gutsy pulse of a purring engine, you'll like the sound of the XVS950A. The engine has an uneven firing interval, which gives a distinctive, engine pulse, for unique character and a gutsy exhaust note.

Double cradle frame

Mount the XVS950A safe in the knowledge that this is one power cruiser that is easy to control. The bike's double cradle frame has been designed to deliver a lightweight handling feeling and the ideal balance of rigidity, giving high levels of feedback and increased rider comfort.

Low seat height

When you settle into the seat of the XVS950A, you'll notice how incredibly comfortable it is. The seat is narrow at the front, to match the slim rear of the fuel tank, making it easier for you to put your feet on the ground when stationary. It gives you a natural riding position to enhance comfort and control.

Large-diameter wheels

Take the XVS950A through a corner, and you'll see that the fat, 8-spoke aluminium wheels aren't that size just for the classic styling. The 18-inch front wheel makes a significant contribution to the bike's lightweight handling, giving you the confidence to open it up, whatever your level of riding experience.
