2004 Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture

The Royal Star Midnight Venture. You’ll never look at long-distance carriers the same again…

The consummate blend of classic, ageless styling and thoroughly modern engineering for which Yamaha is legendary.
Glistening chrome and lustrous paint surround a liquid-cooled, 1300cc V-4 pumping out 98 ponies of shaft-driven power, all wrapped within an ultra-rigid, superb-handling chassis.

The 2004 Royal Star Midnight Venture Special Edition. Surrounded by lustrous onyx lacquer, studded seat, backrest and tons of gleaming chrome, this bike’s got killer looks and the muscle to match. The ultimate expression of luxurious long distance performance and cross-country comfort, also features a beautifully black accented engine with polished fins and chromed forks that help make it as gorgeous as it is timeless.

Plush, comfortable seats and passenger backrest make for long-range comfort and riding pleasure. Luxury touring amenities include a spacious trunk and saddlebags, large, plush saddles, operator and passenger floorboards, easy-access audio/CB switchgear and front and rear speakers.

And they’re backed by the premier customer support package in motorcycling: a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty and 24-hour roadside assistance program.
