Yamaha Roadliner description

Super nice bike with lots of option. Custom batwing faring with quad Polk speaker & Panasonic remote  stereo, 12" whale tail windshield, factory Driving lights ,crash bar with highway pegs, custom luggage rack, hard bags with locks, custom tag holder and mirrors. Bike is in like new condition great tires recently serviced, I would say perfect but not quiet. Powerful cruiser that handles like a much smaller bike lots of torque and power fast breaking and a smooth six speed tranny. The Roadliner was named bike of the year in 2008 and for good reason. I am a adult rider (59) and have owned many motorcycles over the years including lots of H/Ds. This bike has the look and to satisfy anyone looking for a really nice cruiser. I have taken excellent care including regular detailing. Please look at the many reviews regarding this bike and you will be impressed with what people say. Also feel free to contact me at 704 439 7556 with any questions.

 

The Roadliner Midnight is a machine designed to stir the senses. From the “Neo Streamline” styling, to the emotional pulse feeling of the massive V-Twin engine, the Roadliner Midnight is designed to be a harmonious blend of power and beauty.

A culmination of all the knowledge Yamaha has gained since the introduction of the Star series. The stunningly beautiful Roadliner S is more than just a pretty face, it is an incredible cruising experience.
Discover for yourself how the 1854cc V-Twin power, fuel injection, aluminum frame and swingarm, are all skillfully crafted to provide an incredible feeling of sensual performance and excitement.

The manufacturer first made sure that the bike would be a tremendous power and torque provider so it hooked it up with a gigantic 1854cc air-cooled V-Twin featuring 9.5:1 compression ratio and dual counterbalancers for smooth operating. Additional equipment was also great but another important feature that would contribute at the immense success was the aluminum frame which is long and low and has its own idea of weight distribution (50/50 front and rear to be more precise).

What Yamaha now needed to do was to give it its nice neo-streamliner appearance and the recipe was ready.
If you’ve ever experienced the thrill of riding the Roadliner you will most likely agree that you can either love it or adore it. There’s simply no other way as this bike is built for pure satisfaction and I will number each of the elements that provide it during this section.

If you are considering the Roadliner but its size talks about heavy weight and trouble while trying to pick it up from its sidestand, I would have to strongly advise you to go with it because it is no challenge when it comes to picking it up, all contrary. Once you’ve swing a leg over it you will be accommodated in the most luxurious and commode space that a bike can create.

Motorcycle  review

Handlebars are at quick reach and all the commands are standard positioned for ease of use and trouble free rides. What sets this bike apart is the dashboard implementing everything you could dream on and more. Everything from speedometer to self diagnostics is there. How about appearance? Simply wonderful!


I quickly fired up the 113-cubic-inch air-cooled pushrod 48-degree V-Twin featuring computer-controlled, twin-bore, fuel-injection monitoring multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions. Those mighty cylinders are fed by wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors which provide excellent fuel atomization.

Once I got going, I was introduced to the nice exhaust note coming from a two-into-one exhaust system featuring Exhaust
Ultimate Power valve. This contributed to the rush I got between 2500-3000 rpm and by that time, the sound was heading towards the levels where a gear changing is required.

Even so, the engine can be highly revved and once you’ve changed a gear, it is less likely to think about changing another one and another one. This is no R1 my friend but it is a damn cool motorcycle.
