Cruising starts with Yamaha

They say there is no substitute for cubes but some people just want to have a piece of the cruiser lifestyle without the heavy-weight action that comes with bigger cruisers. So with Yamaha’s new XVS950A Midnight Star, customers have access to a stylish and sophisticated 950cc V-Twin. Easy to ride with a low seat height (675mm) and a full-sized chassis, the smallest of Yamaha’s Midnight Star range has easy handling enhancing the cruising experience, particularly for those riders that are new to this relaxing and easy-riding life-style.

At the heart of the XVS950A Midnight Star is a newly-designed 942cc air-cooled 4-valve engine featuring a compact 60º V-twin configuration. With an uneven firing interval of 300º and 420º, this belt-drive V-twin delivers a powerful pulse feeling and the gutsy engine character is accentuated by the fact that no balancer shaft is fitted.

The XVS950A is available now at authorised Yamaha dealers, priced at £6399.00 (not including road fund and first registration fee) and includes a full 2 years manufacturer’s warranty and 12 months RAC cover. Of course, in addition, there is a whole host of genuine Yamaha accessories available to personalise your Midnight Star too.
