YAMAHA STAR MOTORCYCLES 

For riders who like to stand out form the crowd with a motorcycle of exceptional quality, we offer you the Star range of cruisers. We pride ourselves on building cruisers that don’t just look, sound and feel the business, they also go, 

stop and handle like a motorcycle should. We believe that just because you appreciate the long and low lines of a cruiser doesn’t mean you have to put up with cruise ship handling. Coincidence it isn’t - our racing heritage drives 

Yamaha to creatively blend advanced technology and materials with development aims that match the true heartbeat of cruising. 

We found that five elements form the essence of the Star brand - high build quality, performance, reliability, heritage and timeless design. Five key ingredients that have lead us to offer a five year factory warranty on all Star cruisers.

XV1900A Roadliner 

The style guru. Yamaha’s XV1900 borrows 

heavily from the 1930s to create the freshest look 

in classic cruiser styling. 

An exquisite merging of old and new, the Roadliner 

mates a traditional large capacity pushrod design 

with crisp fuel injection and EXUP exhaust valve 

performance in a 1854cc masterpiece. The rollon 

acceleration at your disposal for highway 

overtaking is impressive and handling may surprise 

many expecting a sedate experience. 

Attention to detail is unsurpassed. Fat chromed 

bars are internally wired for a clean look that 

continues through to the integrated brake and 

clutch lever bracket/master cylinders. Conical 

indicators underline Yamaha’s attention to the 

evocative look. 

Roadliner makes a fashion statement but backs 

it up with the sort of substance more commonly 

found on an airport runway.

XV1900A Key Features 

XV1900A in Raven 

1 Yamaha’s XV1900A is a fascinating mix of 

neo and retro, of old world classic and postmodern 

masterpiece. 

2 Beautifully crafted twelve-spoke wheels 

evoke the Streamliner look, and then juxtapose 

it with modern tubeless radial tyres. 

3 Long and low aluminium frame provides 

great looks and light handling unlike any 

other big-bore cruiser, thanks to a low centre 

of gravity feel and a near 50/50 weight 

distribution on the front and rear wheels. 

4 Classic-clock style instrumentation 

complements Roadliner’s neo-retro look, and 

contains analogue speedometer, tachometer 

and fuel gauge, along with twin digital 

tripmeters, odometer and self-diagnostics. 

5 The mighty low-revving, 1854cc (113-cubic 

inch) air-cooled, eight-valve V-twin engine has 

massive roll-on torque. A front brake derived 

straight from the R1 and an aluminium frame 

ensure this is not a case of arts for art’s sake. 

Typifying the Roadliner 1900 ethos, the 

spurred swingarm provides stable road holding 

and a one-of-a-kind look. 

EXUP (Exhaust Ultimate Power valve) 

system inside the two-into-one exhaust system 

boosts torque in the 2500-3000-RPM range. 

Twin-bore downdraft fuel injection ensures 

optimum engine efficiency and throttle 

response in the widest possible range of 

conditions. 

This stunning megacruiser stops just like 

it goes and steers - with assurance. Design 

touches include flared fenders, teardrop 

(seamless) fuel tank, sweptback handlebar 

mounts and conical indicators. 

Neo-streamline design includes the first 

seamless fuel tank fitted to a Star, giving the 

Roadliner a distinctive look. 

1854cc air-cooled, pushrod V-twin features 

machined fin edges for a jewel-like appearance 

as light hits it from different angles. 

A thick chromed handlebar in polished onepiece 

clamp carries switchgear wiring on the 

inside for a clean, purposeful look. 

Belt final drive routes power smoothly and 

efficiently to the rear wheel for smooth lag-free 

take up when you activate that monstrous lowrpm 

torque. 

Aluminium frame is light, rigid, and requires 

few welds. A light, Controlled-Fill swingarm 

casting complements the bike’s streamline style. 

46mm fork tubes wearing slant-cut stainless 

covers serve up an excellent ride and a sweet 

appearance. 

XV1900A features floating floorboards and 

an adjustable heel/toe shifter help provide a 

comfortable, low-effort ride. 

Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by 

oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long 

life. Twin counter-balancers keep things smooth 

without compromising that glorious V-twin pulse. 

9.5:1 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; a wideangle 

12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent 

atomisation.

XVS950A V-Star 

One size fits all. The good thing about cruisers is that 

they can be enjoyed by riders of all sizes. And with a super 

low seat height, the XVS950A is designed to appeal to a 

wide range of people looking for a sweet handling yet punchy 

middleweight. 

Beyond the traditional air-cooled exterior you’ll find all the 

latest technology including fuel injection, four-valve cylinder 

heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders and forged 

aluminium pistons that mean business. 

The chassis design has been mass centralised with a 

carefully designed rigidity in the longitudinal, lateral, and 

torsional directions to offer an awesome riding experience. 

Add a large diameter, low profile front tyre and optimal front 

end weighting and you’ll be searching out sweeping bends to 

enjoy with confidence. 

Take one ride on the versatile V-Star 950 and you’ll feel the 

manoeuvrability and urge of a benchmark in middleweight 

cruising

XVS950A Key Features 


1 Muscular, fuel-injected 942cc air-cooled 

V-twin engine features plenty of distinctive, 

big-cruiser character and pulsing torque feel. 

2 Steel main frame has been carefully 

designed to offer an ideal rigidity balance in the 

longitudinal, lateral, and torsional directions and 

uses the engine as a stressed member. This all 

translates to an exceptionally light feeling that 

riders are sure to appreciate. 

3 The big 18-inch front wheel helps deliver 

this cruiser motorcycle’s sporty handling 

characteristics and Sport Classic cruiser looks. 

The low-profile tyre is mounted on an 8-spoke 

lightweight aluminium wheel. The rear tyre adds 

a beefy look and helps transfer all that torque 

and power to the pavement. 

942cc (57.5 cu. in) engine is an air-cooled 

SOHC 60° V twin. With four valves per head, 

a pent-roof shaped combustion chamber, and 

9.0:1 compression ratio, this engine has been 

carefully designed to produce excellent power 

characteristics – and best-in-class acceleration. 

2-into-1 exhaust system includes 3-way 

catalyst technology to reduce air pollution. 

To keep friction loss to a minimum and 

help the engine achieve the ideal performance 

characteristics, special compact roller-type 

rocker arms with needle bearings are used. 

The combustion chamber shape was 

precisely engineered to direct the fuel air 

charge into the centre of the piston for faster 

combustion and maximum power. Ceramiccomposite-plated 

cylinders provide excellent 

heat dissipation and reduced oil consumption. 

High-quality forged aluminium pistons have 

a lightweight, high-strength compact design 

that contributes to reduce vibration. 

The engine’s V-twin smooth character is so 

pleasing that a counterbalancer is unnecessary. 

This also contributes to simplicity and less 

operating noise. 

Sophisticated fuel injection is used on 

the V Star 950. The injectors are 4-hole, 

two-directional types with spray aimed at the 

valve surfaces. That produces superior fuel 

atomisation for faster and more complete 

combustion which contributes to excellent 

drivability. The fuel injection system also 

adopts an ISC (Idling Speed Control) valve for 

outstanding idling stability. 

The V Star 950 lubrication is provided by a 

simple, reliable wet sump system. 

The steel double-cradle frame is long and 

low, contributing to the bike’s spacious overall 

length and wheelbase. That means a great ride 

to go along with the great looks. 

With a seat height a mere 673mm off the 

pavement, one of the lowest around, and a fuel 

tank that’s made as narrow as possible where it 

meets the seat, it is easy for most riders to put 

both feet firmly on the ground. 

Large diameter 320mm front and 298mm 

rear discs provide strong braking capacity with 

excellent feel. 

Front forks feature big 41mm tubes, and rear 

suspension is a bottom-link-type monocross 

shock. Settings are calibrated to deliver a plush 

ride that is increasingly firm as the suspension is 

compressed for good handling and comfort over 

bigger bumps in the road. 

The V-Star 950 has a wonderfully light 

feel. Surprisingly, even though it has a full-size 

chassis, the bike weighs just 278kg wet, with a 

full tank of gas and all fluids. 

The large-diameter meter is mounted on the 

fuel tank for a traditional look. Meter functions 

include speedometer, fuel level warning light, 

oil level warning light, and odometer with two 

trip meter functions, fuel trip meter, and clock 

display. The LCD display illumination can be 

adjusted using a right side handlebar switch.

Always remember to review your Yamaha Motorcycle Owner’s Manual before you ride. Before each ride, take time to check all your equipment. Always wear an approved helmet, eye protection, 

long-sleeved shirt, long trousers, gloves and boots. And always be sure your bike is in first-class condition before riding. Keep it well-maintained and always outfitted in accordance with state and 

local laws. Every motorcycle rider should be aware of the limits of his or her skills, experience and abilities and ride accordingly. Beginners should be extremely cautious and allow extra time and

all state and local laws. Ride responsibly, and remember, motorcycle riders, as all motorists, must practice defensive driving. Do not drink and ride. It is illegal and dangerous. Yamaha encourages 

you to ride safely and respect the environment. Specifications and colour options are subject to change without notice, in accordance with national regulations and legislations. Copyright is
