YAMAHA Roadliner S (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, alongside the base model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Roadliner S, a cruiser machine identical to the standard model, sharing the same specifications but with extra shiny chrome elements.

The Yamaha XV1900A cruiser motorcycle debuted in 2006 and was known in the US as the Star Roadliner. The bike was sold in the American market through Yamaha's Star Motorcycles division and was the largest motorcycle while in production.

Compared to the base model, the S version packed more chromed elements, such as the headlight housing, turn signal housings, cylinder heads, engine covers, cooling fins, front fork, exhaust, handlebar, and many more bits and pieces here and there.

The 2006 S version packed standard features, such as a round headlight upfront, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with a large muffler mounted on the right side, and 12-spoke aluminum wheels.

As for the power figures, the 2006 Yamaha Roadliner S had its soul brought to life by a 1,854cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 99 hp at 4,250 rpm and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.

The bike's braking power was handled by two 298 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 320 mm disc with a four-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent braking performance.
