XVS1300A Midnight Star - Laid back cruiser with a big heart.

Hop on an XVS1300A Midnight Star, and you’ll soon see that laid-back, cruiser style doesn’t have to mean laid-back horsepower. Its engine features forged pistons, 4-valve heads and shortstroke con-rods, so every time you hit the throttle you feel a knockout, low-down punch that turns into serious top-end power. But its power that comes with control and comfort. Twin balancers tune out all the unwanted vibrations that can make long journeys wearing, but allow the feel-good power pulses that you ride for in the first place. And it all comes in a package of classic 1930s-inspired styling, with a tight body and low silhouette that’s old-school with a radical new twist.

Features

* Balancers tune out rattles but allows power pulses

* Classic ‘wild streamline’ styling

* Monocross rear suspension for smoothest of rides

* High torque, liquid-cooled V-twin engine

* Long-and-low chassis with great handling

* Large, ‘air-cooling’ type fins
