Yamaha has unveiled the 2013 Yamaha XV1900A Midnight Star Casual Full Dress (CFD) in the UK. Known as the Star Stratoliner Deluxe in the US, the 2013 Yamaha XV1900A Midnight Star CFD “Brings both elegance and luxurious comfort to the cruiser market, while retaining the reputation for power and performance that is associated with Yamaha’s V-twin family.”
Honestly, the 2013 Yamaha XV1900A Midnight Star CFD looks like alien. It features a new full-width fairing with effective wind protection, two large colour-matched hard cases with quick-release fixings and one-touch openers, and long and low aluminium frame.
For power, this unique cruiser is powered by a 1900cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valves V-twin engine with a new low-effort ‘assist and slipper’ clutch which is designed to reduce the effort required to operate while enhancing the motorcycle’s stability under deceleration. The engine delivers 66.4 kW at 4,750 rpm and 155.1 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm.
The 2013 Yamaha XV1900A Midnight Star CFD is priced at £15,999.
