The Yamaha Roadliner was a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2006 and continued production until 2017. The bike was sold in the American market through Yamaha's Star Motorcycles division and was the largest motorcycle while in production.
In 2007, alongside the base and S versions, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Roadliner Midnight, a cruiser motorcycle that packed the same technical end performance specifications as the other two models but with a blacked-out appearance enhanced by a small amount of chromed elements.
The Midnight model had black-finish components, such as the headlight housing, front fork, fenders, fuel tank, engine, engine covers, cylinder heads, and several chromed elements, including the exhaust system, handlebar, and other bits and pieces.
As for standard features, the bike had a round headlight on the front, a wide pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with a massive silencer, and 12-spoke aluminum wheels.
In the performance department, the 2007 Yamaha Roadliner Midnight had installed a 1,854cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 99 hp with a peak force at 4,250 rpm and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-disc clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a low-maintenance final shaft drive.
