Wow. When will it ever end. Yamaha are releasing their biggest twin yet. The XV1900 Midnight Star. 1854cc; belt drive; Max torque at 2500rpm.

Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

Looks like they mated the Warrior with the Stratoliner. Not sure the result is all that great....
A comparison.

The pipes do look a bit rank, but when you have a big donk like that, you have to get rid of the exhaust some how.
I presume they would be standard forks with a cover on them. Makes them look inverted.

Aargh, photos!
Bloody hell, now, who is going to say, "I didn't see you". That thing looks like a freight train.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

the front tyre on that is bigger than most rear tyres on 250s...
that's a beast..
I saw an MT01 in the flesh last month. Now that's a beast. No pics do it justice, you have to go see and hear it for yourself.. Yama have some nuts working for them..

One hell of a ride.
The more metric cruisers I see,
the more I admire Willy G.

bikes are nice, but there's a limit to how much you get off on them
One hell of a ride.
If my dick could design bikes as well as Willy G. Davidson I'd be well endowed indedeedy. Whereas Yamaharleys give me a soft-on.

personally I like the look of it, it's kinda against the grain in some ways. It's also nice to see bits that are normally chrome become black (Forks, headlight). Its seems that Yamaha got right what Suzuki couldn't with the Boulevard M Series, and I love the indicators, they look shit hot as does the brake light. It all flows together really nicely.
Nice bike, but the engine size is laughable, would you ever need that kind of power? I wouldn't think so.

Yep, a 1000cc 4 cyl sportsbike that makes 160 rear wheel HP say like an R1... would you ever need that kind of power? I wouldnt think so.
Power is like penis size: the more you have, the happier you are, and the more smug you feel.
