Background: Mid-Size Cruiser with Big Heritage

Yamaha introduced the XVS950 Midnight Star (V Star 950) in 2009 as part of its renowned Star cruiser series. It was designed to offer full-size cruiser style in an approachable package, even winning V-Twin Magazine’s “Metric of the Year” award upon release. At the heart of the Midnight Star is a 942cc air-cooled V-twin that produces around 50 horsepower and 58 lb-ft of torque – plenty of gutsy performance for effortless cruising. This engine is fuel-injected and mated to a smooth 5-speed transmission with a belt final drive for low maintenance and a clean look. Riders of all experience levels have praised the XVS950 for its user-friendly handling and balanced performance, noting that it inspires confidence in beginners yet still entertains seasoned riders. The Midnight Star’s low-slung stance and extra-low 26.6-inch seat height make it easy to handle for a wide range of riders, while its class-leading long wheelbase adds stability without sacrificing agility.

Top-Spec Tourer Features & Performance

As a Tourer model, this XVS950 comes with all the factory extras to make your rides comfortable and convenient. The Tourer package includes a easy to remove windshield, leather-covered hard saddlebags, and a padded passenger backrest as standard. These features transform the bike into a capable light tourer – perfect for weekend getaways or cruising across town. The windshield provides excellent wind protection on the open road and can be removed easily for an around-town cruiser look. The hard leather panniers offer secure, weather-resistant storage for your gear, and their stylish design complements the bike’s classic lines. Your passenger will appreciate the comfort and security of the backrest on longer journeys, and you’ll love the bike’s relaxed ergonomics and roomy rider’s seat.

Beyond the touring accessories, the Midnight Star boasts all the hallmarks of a classic American-style cruiser with modern Yamaha engineering. It features valenced steel fenders, a pulled-back handlebar, floorboard-style footrests for the rider, and a tank-mounted instrument cluster – all enhancing its cruiser character. The 942cc V-twin delivers strong low- and mid-range torque, peaking at just 3,500 rpm, for effortless roll-on power. Thanks to advanced engine design (including four-valve heads, forged pistons, and ceramic-lined cylinders), the bike has a smooth throttle response and the reliability that Yamaha is known for. The exhaust is a 2-into-1 system tuned for a pleasing big cruiser rumble without being obnoxious. With its full-size chassis and well-balanced suspension, the XVS950 Midnight Star offers a comfortable ride on longer trips and surprisingly agile handling around town. In fact, these 950 models are often noted as striking an ideal balance – providing the look, sound, and comfort of a larger cruiser while being easier to handle and more economical to run.

Immaculate Condition & Recent Maintenance

This particular Midnight Star Tourer is in exceptional mechanical and cosmetic condition throughout. The black paintwork with red pinstripe detailing shines like new, and all chrome and polished surfaces are clean. Having covered just 7,608 miles, the bike shows very little wear – a true credit to its previous owner. It has been fully inspected and serviced by our dealership’s technicians to ensure you complete peace of mind. A clean MOT (no advisories) confirms the bike’s roadworthiness. Recent maintenance and service items include:

• Engine oil & filter change – fresh oil and Yamaha filter for optimal performance.

• New rear brake pads – installed to give you confident stopping power, with brake calipers checked and cleaned.

• MOT – passed with zero advisories, valid for a year, so you can ride away legally and with confidence.

Every switch, light, and feature has been checked to be in working order. The engine starts instantly, idles smoothly, and the fuel-injected V-twin pulls strongly through all gears. The 5-speed gearbox shifts positively, and the belt drive is adjusted and in great condition (no chain to worry about!). With all the recent service done, you won’t have to spend a penny on maintenance for a good while – just turn the key and enjoy the ride. In short, this Midnight Star is ready to ride and needs nothing except a new owner to appreciate it.
