Yamaha's profilation of this bike |
Whether you´re new to big cruisers, or have been riding them for years, it´s hard not to be moved by the XVS950A Midnight Star. It might be the low, comfortable riding position, or the grunting, uneven purr of the high-torque, 942cc V-twin engine. It could be the lightweight, easy handling, or the classic cruiser look, both of which are enhanced by a long-and-low chassis and some advanced technical flourishes. |
