YAMAHA Roadliner S (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, alongside the standard model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Roadliner S, a long and low-profile cruiser machine. The bike packed the same specifications as the base model but with additional chromed elements.

The Yamaha Roadliner debuted in 2006 as the largest production Yamaha motorcycle while in production. The bike continued production until 2017 and was sold in the American market through Yamaha's Star Motorcycles division.

It had factory-installed standard features, such as a round headlight on the front, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-styled fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, valanced fenders, a two-into-one exhaust system with a massive muffler, and 12-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

In addition to its standard features, the S version packed more chromed elements, including the front fork, headlight housing, handlebar, engine, cylinder heads, engine covers, cooling fins, exhaust, and other components here and there.

The bike rolled on an 18-inch front wheel softened by a 46 mm telescopic fork with 135 mm of travel and stopped by two 298 mm discs with a four-piston caliper. The 17-inch rear wheel was driven by a link-type shock absorber with 109 mm travel and controlled by a 320 mm disc with a four-piston caliper.

As for performance, the 2007 Yamaha Roadliner S had its soul brought to life by a 1.854cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 99 hp at 4,250 rpm and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,250 rpm.
