2007 Yamaha Roadliner Midnight Cruiser reviews

I just bought this today from a local Harley dealer who took it in on trade for another cookie cutter Harley. I also traded an '06 Roadstar for it! So I was a Harley guy until I met this love of my life. When I test rode it and rode later, it felt like I was floating down the road. This is the first bike that I could see a guy actually falling asleep on while riding. The lines look like a black 50's Cadillac! The chrome is in the right places, beautiful scallops on the huge tank and a lovely and comfy saddle to straddle. I can only hope the reliability and ease of maintenance is as pleasing! Show less

I purchased my bike in Feb. of this year and have enjoyed every minute of it. Past owner of a Heritage Softail. Roadliner Midnight is all around a better bike for those who want to ride, then ride some more. (sorry HD, just my opinion) Service and staff has been great. My time is spent on the road with cofidence that the bike will not let me down. 113ci and 1854 cc is all you need for long trips. Show less

With the odometer at 5400 miles now, I feel it is broken in. The motor hasn't missed a beat yet and the exhaust seems a little throatier now. The bike (other than a horrible stock seat) has been wonderful out of the box. I'm getting 42 - 44 mpg at 60 mph and about 38 - 40 mpg at 70 mph. The bike runs reasonably cool even in the heat down here. Handling and balance are nothing short of superb. I'll be keeping this one for quite a while. Show less

I purchased the Yamaha Silverado 1100 in 2006 and was very pleased with the bike but felt the need for more pick-up & passing power. When I lost one of my riding gloves I was upset until I went to my dealership for another pair. There I saw a new 2006 Midnight Roadliner. As fate would have it I now own it. I've put 650 miles on the bike locally including one day trip(300mi). I am very pleased with the bikes performance. It's very well balanced and delivers an abundance of thrust. The clutch shifts very smoothly. The belt drive gives instant pick-up, but I need to get used to the instant down powering when easing up on the gas. I highly recommend the Yamaha Roadliner. Show less
