La Yamaha Roadliner (XV1900A) se presentó en 2006 como parte de la gama Star Cruiser de Yamaha, con un motor bicilíndrico en V de 1854 cc refrigerado por aire especialmente diseñado para competir directamente con el segmento de grandes cruceros de Harley-Davidson. Se destacó por ser uno de los cruceros bicilíndricos en V de mayor cilindrada ofrecidos por un fabricante japonés en ese momento, con un diseño de baja inclinación y larga distancia entre ejes con una estética retro personalizada distintiva. El Roadliner se mantuvo en producción hasta 2014 y se ganó la reputación de ofrecer una entrega de potencia fluida y un rendimiento fiable en la clase de cruceros de peso pesado.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Bulletproof 1900cc Engine
The Roadliner's 1854cc air-cooled V-twin (marketed as 1900) is known for exceptional long-term reliability, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive system can develop leaks or wear issues around 30,000–40,000 miles, so always inspect the final drive housing and check service records before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Roadliner holds its value better than many cruiser competitors due to its premium build quality and limited production run, making it a solid long-term investment in the used market.

"Un monstruo de torsión grande y perezoso que recompensa a los ciclistas pacientes."
Este motor bicilíndrico en V de 1854 cc se mueve básicamente al ralentí: aprieta el acelerador a 2500 rpm en la sexta posición y avanza sin quejarse, lo que es adictivo en carreteras largas. La inyección de combustible funcionó bien desde el primer día, sin tropiezos ni problemas de arranque en frío que afectaron a algunos competidores con carburador. Con 331 kg, se siente el peso en los aparcamientos y en los lentos giros en U, pero una vez que rueda, se porta sorprendentemente bien, y la altura del asiento de 700 mm permite que los ciclistas más bajos puedan caminar de forma plana. Mi principal queja después de dos años es que las vibraciones por encima de las 5000 rpm son realmente incómodas para las manos y los pies, pero, sinceramente, este motor nunca quiere superar las 5000 rpm, ya que está hecho para hacer ruido, no para perseguir líneas rojas.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A drop-dead gorgeous cruiser that rewards patient, experienced riders handsomely."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe Roadliner is one of those bikes that looks absolutely stunning in person but demands respect before you throw a leg over it. That 1900cc air-cooled V-twin produces lazy, torquey grunt that pulls hard from idle — it's genuinely effortless on the highway and sounds incredible with an aftermarket exhaust. Handling is better than the weight suggests, though don't expect sport bike agility when you're threading through tight switchbacks. Used examples from 2006-2011 are generally reliable, but do your homework. Check the fuel injection for hiccups at low throttle — early models had some stumble issues that dealers addressed but weren't always documented. Look for leaks around the primary cover and inspect the drive belt thoroughly. These bikes were often owned by weekend cruiser guys, so low mileage is common, which sounds great until you realize sitting idle causes its own problems. Demand a fresh service history.
