For Sale: 2006 Yamaha Roadliner XV1900A – Big-Bore Cruiser with Serious Presence
Up for sale is my 2006 Yamaha Roadliner XV1900A, a beautifully engineered large-capacity cruiser that delivers the perfect mix of muscle, comfort, reliability, and standout road presence.
The Roadliner has earned a strong reputation as one of Yamaha’s best big cruisers, powered by a massive 1854cc air-cooled V-twin with effortless low-down torque. Reviews praised the Roadliner for its strong performance, with Rider Magazine recording 107.2 lb-ft of torque at only 2,200 rpm, making it a relaxed but seriously powerful bike for highway cruising and open-road riding.
Unlike many heavy cruisers, the Roadliner was also well regarded for its handling. Yamaha gave it a lightweight aluminium double-cradle frame, helping it feel more balanced and controlled than its size might suggest. Motorcycle Cruiser noted its well-controlled ride and strong suspension setup, while other reviews described it as a technically impressive heavyweight V-twin cruiser.
This is a bike with real character: long, low, chrome-rich, and beautifully styled with Yamaha’s bold art-deco-inspired design. It has the muscle cruiser look without sacrificing comfort, making it ideal for weekend rides, coastal cruising, highway touring, or simply owning something that stands out from the usual crowd.
