Yamaha’s latest motorcycle has a very long name. Called the XV1900A Midnight Star Casual Full Dress, it’s basically a rebranded version of the Star Motorcycles Stratoliner Deluxe that was recently launched in North America.
Styled as a ‘bagger’, a prominent fairing and a pair of hard luggage cases differentiate the CFD from the regular XV1900A Midnight Star.

Everything else remains the same, including the aluminium double-cradle frame and 1,854 cc V-twin engine that produces 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS) with 155 Nm (114 lb/ft) of torque. For ease of use and better stability when decelerating, the motor now comes equipped with an ‘assist and slipper’ clutch.
In the UK, the XV1900A Midnight Star Casual Full Dress costs £16,132 (including vehicle tax and first registration fee).

At that price, one obvious rival is the £14,732 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager Custom. The Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide and the six-cylinder Honda Gold Wing F6B are also similar in concept, but they’re more expensive at £17,895 and £19,199 respectively.
