The Yamaha Roadstar Warrior: History & What Makes It Special

Originally launched in 2002, the Yamaha Roadstar Warrior quickly earned a reputation as a power cruiser that bridged the gap between laid-back cruiser and aggressive sport bike. In essence, it was the sleeker, sportier brother of Yamaha’s classic Road Star, upgraded with modern performance technology. Its heart is a massive 1,670cc air-cooled V-twin engine with electronic fuel injection, pumping out around 84 horsepower and 99 lb-ft of torque – plenty of muscle to leave traffic in your dust. In fact, the Roadstar Warrior’s thunderous torque and tuneability led it to dominate the drag strip, becoming a five-time AMA ProStar Hot Rod Cruiser class drag racing champion. In other words, this cruiser doesn’t just look mean – it has the performance pedigree to back it up.

What truly made the XV1700 Roadstar Warrior special was how it combined classic cruiser design with sportbike-derived engineering. Yamaha built the Warrior on a lightweight aluminum frame – the first ever used in a cruiser motorcycle – which gave it strength and rigidity with minimal flex. That innovation, along with an inverted 41mm front fork (borrowed from the YZF-R1 superbike) and a preload/rebound adjustable rear shock, endowed the Warrior with remarkably nimble handling for its size. Twin front disc brakes and a meaty 200mm wide rear tyre put it in a league of its own for stopping power and cornering grip among cruisers. Visually, the bike oozed American cruiser attitude: long and low stance, polished alloy and chrome detailing (on standard models), and a distinctive swept 2-into-1 exhaust. Yamaha even offered a Midnight Warrior edition with factory blacked-out components for an extra dose of custom style. The bottom line is the Roadstar Warrior delivered the best of both worlds – big V-twin cruiser charisma with sportbike-like performance and agility. It’s no surprise that the model remained largely unchanged through 2010 due to its well-earned loyal fanbase. In the UK, these Warriors are a rare sight on the roads, making a well-kept example like this one a very special find.

About This 2009 Yamaha XV1700 Roadstar Warrior for Sale

Year & Rarity: This is a 2009 model Yamaha Roadstar Warrior, one of the final years of production for this legendary cruiser. 2009/2010 were the last of the line, so you’re getting a bike with all the refinements Yamaha made over the Warrior’s run – and one that’s increasingly collectible for enthusiasts. It has had one owner from new, who clearly treasured it, as evidenced by the condition and very low mileage.

Mileage: Speaking of mileage, this Warrior has only 5,877 miles on the clock! That’s incredibly low for a 1700cc cruiser of this age. With so few miles, the engine and components have decades of life left in them. It’s barely broken in, and rides tight and smooth – just as you’d expect from a bike with such light use.

Condition & Styling: The bike is in immaculate condition throughout – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a scratch or blemish. It’s been professionally repainted in a stunning Midnight Blue metallic, a deep lustrous blue that really makes this Warrior stand out from the crowd. The Midnight Blue sets off the many blacked-out accents beautifully. In place of the stock exhaust, it’s fitted with blacked-out Freedom Performance exhausts, which not only look aggressive but also unleash a fantastic deep V-twin rumble. The overall look is a perfect mix of menacing and classy – a true custom cruiser aesthetic without any of the work left for you to do.

Performance Upgrades: In addition to the exhaust, this Warrior has an Ivan’s Performance Tune installed. Ivan’s Performance is well known in the Warrior community for refining the fuel injection and ignition mapping to smooth out the throttle and unlock additional power. Thanks to this upgrade, the bike runs better than stock, with snappier throttle response and strong pull through the rev range. It’s the ideal tune to maximize the Warrior’s potential, especially when paired with the freer-flowing exhaust. In short, this 2009 Warrior not only looks fantastic, it’s optimized for top-notch performance and rideability – a true rider’s machine.

Service & Maintenance: Buy with confidence knowing this Yamaha has been fully prepped for its new owner. Our team has completed a full pre-delivery inspection and service on the bike. It has fresh oil and a new oil filter, so the big V-twin is lubricated and ready for many more miles. We’ve also replaced the brake fluid with new to ensure crisp, safe braking performance. Importantly, a brand new rear Bridgestone tyre has been fitted to match the excellent front tyre – so you get a fresh set of rubber that puts all that torque to the pavement reliably. All basic maintenance is up to date, meaning you can simply turn the key and enjoy the ride. The bike needs nothing except a proud new owner!

Price: This 2009 Yamaha Roadstar Warrior is competitively priced at £7,995. Considering the low mileage, and the upgrades & condition, it represents fantastic value for a muscle cruiser of this caliber. You’d be hard pressed to find another Warrior in the UK as clean and well-sorted as this one, especially at this price point.

Availability: The bike is UK registered and located in our showroom here in England, so no import hassles – it’s ready to ride away. Remember, 2009 was one of the last chances to own a new Roadstar Warrior, and few were ever on the UK market. This is your chance to own a piece of Yamaha cruiser history that will put a grin on your face every time you twist the throttle.
