2009 Yamaha Roadliner Midnight, THERE'S REALLY NO REPLACEMENT FOR CUBIC INCHES. And it's hard to argue with 113 of them. Our gibbest V-twin is also our boldest, with a highly advanced fuel-injected engine producing peak torque at only 2500 rpm. And an aluminum frame for the kind of solid precise handling nothing else in its class can touch. The Roadliner S gets chrome switchgear, front brake and clutch master cylinders and levers, belt guard, fork and fork covers, handlebar clamps, shifter, front pulley cover, various engine covers, rear fender stay and polished wheels. The flagship of the Star line, and Cycle World magazine's Best Cruiser for 2006 (CW's 10 Best, July '06) is designed to show and go like no other cruiser before it, with big power and great handling. Powerful and beautiful 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod V-twin produces great thrust at any speed. Twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection ensures optimum engine ef?ciency and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions. Neo-streamline design, gives the Roadliner S a completely distinctive look. Long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and light handling unlike any other full-size cruiser, thanks to a low center of gravity feel and a near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels. A sculpted seat makes the Roadliner S an excellent place to sit on long rides. The Roadliner S achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 42 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.5 gallons of gas. Engine 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled pushrod 48-degree V-twin has massive looks and performance. Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture. Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long life. Twin counterbalancers keep things smooth but rumbly. 9.48:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board. Computer-controlled, twin-bore, fuel-injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; a wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization. Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP) inside the two-into-one exhaust system boosts torque in the 2500-3000 rpm range. Special custom machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles. 3300 rpm at 75 mph gives some idea of the Roadliner's power and cruisability. Maximum torque is reached at only 2500 rpm. Chassis/Suspension Aluminum frame is light, rigid, and requires few welds. A light, Controlled-Fill swingarm casting complements the bike's streamline style. With 49.6 percent of its weight carried on the front wheel, the Roadliner S has the weight distribution of a sportbike instead of the typical cruiser, and that means
