These big cruisers have started getting my attention. Must be an age thing 👍🏼

Finally something for me. Really appreciate your review mate.

Odličan. Hvala na trudu i prikazu. Jako dobro.

Nice ride, I still have my 2006 Strat. Yamaha put out some great machines. Good to see then still out there. Ride free!

Hello dark visor... Very nice ride ... 😎

One of my subscribers has that motorcycle. I think Yamaha did a great job on looks 👍👍👍

Very very excellent! Thanks!

Just bought a midnight, thanks, good video

Hallo, ich habe seid 4 Wochen eine Midnight Star von 2011 und bin begeistert🥰 Bin vorher einen Tag ne Road King zur Probe gefahren, bj 16 mit 20T km auf dem Tacho, war nicht schlecht🤔 Bin dann “meine“ XV 1900 gefahren, und obwohl sie bj11 ist und 55t km runter hat, lässt sie sich strammer und besser fahren👍👍 Ist auch handlicher als die Road King😏 Dieses geile Motorrad haben nur wenige auf dem Schirm, ich vorher auch nicht🤷‍♂️ Du machst gute Videos, weiter so👍😁

Just reminds me of an aeroplane Something about the smooth rumble . Love it.

I love it!!!

An excellent review as always and a great bike that IMHO is better in every respect than any Harley. Sound awesome with a custom 2 into 1 exhaust. My second favourite Cruiser, number one for me is the Yamaha Warrior.

That’s a nice looking little town!

I have a 2007 Strat S and love it - tons of power and very comphy even 2 up which I took up into the mountains of WWa and Kentucky - She preformed flawless - Dont need to spend 40K plus on a Harley or Indian as they are just gettig to the torque and HP has as stock from back in 2006 when this line cam out. Worth taking a look at for sure for pennies over dollars. I got my 3 years ago loaded with upgraded seat and windshield for $ 5000 and only 12 miles on it in excllent shape - Just in from a nice Sunday 3 hour cruise !!! Tim from Ohio

Great cruiser.

Lovely review, good footage. I consider buying a xv1900.... When you said it cost you 8.800euro i got so jealous, here in Denmark its like 22.000

Nice BIKE ❤️

Great bike.

Think that they are great to look at never been on one. By the looks of your video it's as you've said not a fast sporty bike, more an old blokes bike like my self'. I am quite seriously thinking of getting one. Cheers

Good look

I like it. Huge power.

A 2010 stratoliner is for sale around me on Facebook marketplace. It’s been for sale for a year. It’s gorgeous black. I was considering the Kawasaki Vulcan voyager. I took one for a ride, and. The seating position was just right, it was easy to ride, it was low on power I thought for a 1700 cc, and it shook like a paint shaker. They claim 71 hp. It felt more like 50 hp to me. The bike was a 2010 here it is in 2024, and it’s belt drive. The belt is endless so it it’s not a simple task to replace the belt. The kicker is, a belt is over $500 for the Kawasaki Vulcan. A belt for a Harley is only $125. I’m not a Harley fan -I am riding my third Yamaha royal star venture right now. I have it on my KZfaq channel along with my other machines I currently have. I had a Honda GL 1800 Goldwing. no such thing as a little job on that. Example, five hours labor to change the air cleaner at the dealer. I did the job myself, having been a motorcycle mechanic in the past at three different shops, and five hours is right for changing the air cleaner on a Goldwing. The Goldwing was perfect, but I sold it because of how difficult it is to work on anything like the starter, the water pump, the slave cylinder, the clutch, that’s the only reason I sold it., concern about how massive the job would be to work on it.. i’m actually on my third venture. I had a 1986 for 16 years, 138,000 miles trouble free. I went to a royal star venture, I had that for 48,000 miles. Not nearly as fast as the 1986 ventures, not even close, but you don’t buy a big sled like this to go fast. I tried a BMW K 1200 LT complete with heated seats and six cd changer. I don’t have time to go into everything that was screwed up on that bike, it had a nice motor, a nice ride, but it was too flawed, I think they rushed it to market, and isn’t it a wonder why they don’t even make that model anymore.. so I have a royal star venture now, and I was considering the Kawasaki vaquero or the Vulcan voyager, and I spotted this very clean, low mileage Yamaha that’s been for sale for a year. And I’m on KZfaq finding out why nobody buys them.Where does this have the same motor that the road star warrior uses? Is it related to the new V twin Venture motor which is utterly reliable, so far except for the heat coming off of the exhaust pipe .. I can deal with weight, but I will not put up with heat. The more I shop around, the better, my Yamaha royal star venture looks every year. They are utterly reliable and easy to work on. I have a video on my channel pointing out my views on comparing my royal star venture to my GL 1800 Goldwing. That video has over 64,000 views, And I am amazed at how more than 99% of the remarks I get from people are favorable and agree with my review, which basically says, the gold wings are perfect, but they are so complicated, I don’t want to work on them anymore. And if you take it to a shop, you’re paying $135 an hour to have somebody else take off all that plastic to get at things which takes extra hours at $135 an hour.

I have the 950 vstar I would love the 1900.

Great machine! Is this with stock exhaust?

Hahaha the speedo looks like a wall clock! Great sound! Also, why is there a huge pile of dirt near the bike shop door? :D

RIP MC Förmedling i Mark... Nice bike. Heavy thing.

Ive had a Roadliner for two years. Ive blacked it out as the tank trim dazzles too much. In a city they run hot and first gear is low and you need second to keep up with traffic. At idle it does 60 kmh, so you glide through a town like a truck with no roof . It will cruise at 130 to 140 but needs a screen and backrest....maybe overdrive for open road touring. Especially as I live in the country where the nearest city is 140 KMS away. Ive done 3 long trips this year, i got 19 kns/;litre or about 50 mpg. Its smooth and effortless if you are not in a hurry. Its not as well finished as the xv 1600 Yamaha which ive owned. Its light for the engine capacity with confidence inspiring balance. It has enough performance for me comparing it to my zx14r kawasaki, and if not pushed handles well until you wear out the back tyre when it starts to slide under power.

Nice bike and even nicer video. What about vibes on this big cruiser? Thanks.

The best aspect of Harleys are all the after market stuff. Ive struggled to get original visor mounts for my Roadliner, so I can get a quality batwing fairing, to do the longer miles at quicker speeds, as chugging along at 80 kmh makes for a long day. Ive made custom brackets for passenger footboards....custom backrest bracket with a recycled back rest off a scooter....pull back brackets from aluminium. The bars are wide and this reduces choice, bit they are availible. Messed around with upgrading lights to l.e.d. as where I ride we have kangaroos and dark winding roads. The triangular headlight makes the bike expensive to swap out the lamp assembly. $A500 as against $200 for innumerable round led assemblies. Still its a very capable big vtwin.

Was close to buying on of these. It was just a bit too slow for me, even for a cruiser. So I got myself a Yamaha Warrior instead. Nice ride though DV!

👍

Can we get a tuner, faster air box and slip on exhaust? If so, then how would the power feel?

I have a 1300 after a harley springer and she hasn’t rusted yet and starts when I ask her to, and fuel tank is bigger win win

It's not about HP, it's the torque. I love my 06 Roadliner.

I will sub when you take my VTX out for a ride. Mark kommun? South of Gothenburg right? :D

I've heard said, the braking could be a bit better. Also wish there was a sixth gear. But I'd still buy one.

Is this model shaft drive or belt drive... I've seen some shaft and some belt... The sellers hide these vital data... I'm not sure why the belt is double the price though...

My brother has one of these , I have its little-brother , 1981 TR1 XV1000 Dave NZ

My thoughts based on a very quick look through comments and your specs, Speedo is in the wrong place should be in vision withoit looking down so much, Shaft drive would be better than belt, 1.9l engine only producing 90hp and top speed 120mph seems a bit lacking but i guess its enough for a cruiser, These days mpg matters so please tell us what that is. Price sounds good but what is it in the uk i wonder?

Hey brother. I really like this model and want to buy one. My only concern is i really dont know if they are problematic or reliable ones? Do you think their age is also a problem or not?

In comparison. Wich of the 2 did you like the most? The Yamaha or the Honda vtx 1800? And why?

Mooie motor, mooier dan een harley! Valt helaas buiten mijn budget Moet het nog een paar jaar doen met mijn dragstar. Wie weet over een jaar of wat?

W Polsce XV1900 dorobił sie przydomka "lokomotywa" :)

Is 1800 cc big enough for you or would you call that small too? Just joking, the speedo panel looks like someone purchased a fancy looking 1$ clock, cut it neatly and put it on a bike.

Is the top speed given the theoretical top speed, or tested top speed? I've had mine up to 145kph, and it gets there with ease, but I can't imagine having the courage to take it to 190.

Den eller M1800. Eller en 1700 warrior :D Finns många glidare som väcker ha-begär

Its a very comfy ride motorcycle. they dont call it HD killer for nothing 🙂

"...not caring about power or speed" I wouldn't say that about a 1900cc bike with that much torque LOL

Jag gillar den dock behövs det andra pipor än orginal..

Ich habe die US Version mit 101 PS 💪👍😁

So sad Japanese quit doing big cruisers and left all the market for HD being so expensive with practically no competition nowadays.

Wow...a little over 10 g for this. They want 20 g for a R6 here. Canada is so out of touch.

Everything is in finnish and im confused :D

8k euro dudeeee i have it for 7ke

XV1900A is an European version and has less power then USA Roadliner EU version has 90 horse power and 155nm Exhaust is perfet low ground rumbling on low revs, not too lout when speedeing, only selfish idiots changing pipes w extreambly loude like Vince or Cobra

I REALLY want a Stratoliner, but the limited range is a huge con for me. Realistically a 125-150 mile tank. My Ninja 1000 is a 180-200 mile tank (depending on how I ride it) and is a bare minimum for me. I don’t want to be stopping every 1.5-2 hours for gas.
