Yamaha Roadliner 1900

The Yamaha Roadliner 1900 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated; electronically limited in some markets), produces 75 hp and weighs 338 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

O Yamaha Roadliner (XV1900A) foi introduzido em 2006 como parte da linha Star Cruiser da Yamaha, com um motor V-twin de 1854 cc refrigerado a ar especialmente projetado para competir diretamente com o grande segmento de cruzeiros da Harley-Davidson. Foi notável por ser um dos cruzadores V-twin de maior cilindrada oferecidos por um fabricante japonês na época, com um design de baixa inclinação e longa distância entre eixos com uma estética retrô personalizada. O Roadliner permaneceu em produção até 2014 e ganhou a reputação de fornecer potência suave e desempenho confiável na classe de cruzeiros pesados.

O que os compradores devem 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.

8.4/10

"Monstro de torque grande e preguiçoso que recompensa ciclistas pacientes."

Aquele V-twin de 1854 cc sai basicamente da marcha lenta — acelera a 2.500 rpm na sexta e ele simplesmente avança sem reclamar, o que vicia em longas estradas. A injeção de combustível foi bem resolvida desde o primeiro dia, sem tropeços ou problemas de partida a frio que atormentou alguns concorrentes alimentados com carburador. Com 331 kg, você sente o peso em estacionamentos e curvas de marcha lentas, mas uma vez rolando, ele se comporta surpreendentemente bem, e essa altura de assento de 700 mm significa que passageiros mais baixos podem pisar nele. Minha principal queixa depois de dois anos: a vibração acima de 5.000 rpm é genuinamente desconfortável em suas mãos e pés, mas, honestamente, esse motor nunca quer estar acima de 5.000 rpm — ele foi construído para rolar trovões, não para perseguir linhas vermelhas.

Prós

+Fornecimento massivo de torque de baixa rotação
+Injeção suave de combustível de fábrica
+Altura baixa do assento que inspira confiança
+Acionamento por correia: limpo, de baixa manutenção
+Proporções clássicas genuinamente impressionantes

Contras

Pesado e lento, desajeitado
Vibração grossa acima de 5.000 rpm
Mercado de reposição limitado versus Harley
Melhor para: Cruzadores rodoviários priorizando o torque sem esforço Ignore se: Você anda por estradas estreitas e técnicas

"A drop-dead gorgeous cruiser that rewards patient, experienced riders handsomely."

$6,500-$11,000 used

The 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.
