The new Yamaha XVS950A Midnight Star should renew the field of cruisers under 1000cc, with a classic but modern style.
This is a model aimed at riders who like the solidity of a cruiser and the ponderous twin cylinder V engine, but who still want some competitive performance, riding ease and manoeuvrability.
The Midnight Star 950 will show itself to be different through its new V twin cylinder, air cooled engine, its long and low chassis, and the lowered seat.
While Yamaha has put its efforts into including some advanced technology, it’s kept the simplicity that is the essence of any traditional cruiser.
The new exhaust system accentuates the low rumble of the bike, while a new aspirated system improves performance, and sound at all regimes.
The rear wheel is 18 inches, giving greater riding control and agility, and the tank stretches towards the back of the bike, giving a more comfortable seat position.
After the jump, you will find details from Yamaha on its new Midnight Star.
