Wheelsport Center NewRoc Yamaha

• Roadliner Midnight is decked out in shiny Raven paint with blacked-out components throughout.
• The flagship of the Star line, and Cycle World magazine’s Best Cruiser for 2006 (CW’s 10 Best, July `06) is designed to show and go like no other cruiser before it, with big power and great handling.
• Powerful and beautiful 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod V-twin produces great thrust at any speed.
• Twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection ensures optimum engine ef?ciency and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions.
• Neo-streamline design, including the first flangeless gas tank fitted to a Star, gives the Roadliner Midnight a completely distinctive look.
• Long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and light handling unlike any other full-size cruiser, thanks to near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels.
• A sculpted seat makes the Roadliner Midnight an excellent place to sit on long rides.
• The Roadliner Midnight achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 42 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.5 gallons of gas.

Engine:

• 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod 48-degree V-twin has massive looks and performance.
• Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.
• Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long life. Twin counterbalancers keep things smooth but rumbly.
• 9.48:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board.
• Computer-controlled, twin-bore, fuel-injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization.
• Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP) inside the two-into-one exhaust system boosts torque in the 2500-3000 rpm range.
• Special custom-machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles.
• 3300 rpm at 75 mph gives some idea of the Roadliner’s power and cruisability. Maximum torque is reached at only 2500 rpm.

Chassis/Suspension:

• Aluminum frame is light, rigid and requires few welds. A light, Controlled-Fill swingarm casting complements the bike’s streamline style.
• With 49.6 percent of its weight carried on the front wheel, the Roadliner Midnight has the weight distribution of a sportbike instead of the typical cruiser, and that means great handling.
• 46mm fork tubes wearing slant-cut stainless covers serve up an excellent ride and a sweet appearance.
• A tucked-out-of-sight single shock out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads.
• A thick, richly chromed 1.25-inch handlebar carries the Roadliner Midnight’s switchgear wiring on the inside.
• Flangeless, teardrop fuel tank carries a full 4.5 gallons of fuel.
• 12-spoke wheels evoke a thick spoke look, but carry modern tubeless radial tires; a 130/70-18 front and a fat, 190/60-17 rear.
• Front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm front discs squeezed by strong monoblock calipers for excellent power and feel.
• Strong and light belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently to the rear wheel.
• Floating floorboards and an adjustable heel/toe shifter help provide a comfortable, low-effort ride.

• Bright multi-reflector headlight, LED taillight and amber turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look.
• Oxygen sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.
