The 2012 XVS950A Midnight Star is a nifty entry-lever cruiser Yamaha has in store for Europe, packing the more affordable price of smaller bikes with the traditional impeccable craftsmanship the brand has been offering for so many years now. A scaled-down version of the bigger bikes in the family, the XVS950A retains the bobber attire and the lines which have made so many riders fall in love with these machines.
With a low seat, even riders with a shorter inseam will find it easy to control and balance the bike at low speed or when stopped. The long and low frame ensures great stability once the wheels are rolling and you'll be surprised how nimble the bike is in fact, despite its big cruiser looks. The cast rims and chunky 2-into-1 exhaust add even more modern DNA to this bike, making it a desirable machine for both young and seasoned riders.
