Classic American style in a high-tech machine that rides like no other full-size cruiser.

The 2010 Yamaha “Roadliner S”… a machine designed to stir the senses. From the “Neo Streamline” styling, to the emotional pulse feeling of the massive V-Twin engine, the 2010 Roadliner is designed to be a harmonious blend of power and beauty.

There really is no replacement for cubic inches.

And it’s hard to argue with 113 of them. Our biggest V-Twin is also our boldest, with a highly advanced fuel-injected engine producing peak torque at only 2500 rpm. And an aluminum frame for the kind of solid, precise handling nothing else in its class can touch.

The Roadliner S offers an incredible level of performance, excitement and pride of ownership.

A culmination of all the knowledge we have gained since the introduction of the Star series. The stunningly beautiful Roadliner S is more than just a pretty face, it is an incredible cruising experience. Discover for yourself how the 1854cc V-Twin power, fuel injection, aluminum frame and swingarm, are all skillfully crafted to provide an incredible feeling of sensual performance and excitement.

Key Features

•  Twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection ensures optimum engine efficiency and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions.

•  Neo-streamline design, gives the Roadliner S a completely distinctive look.

•  Long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and light handling unlike any other full-size cruiser, thanks to a low center of gravity feel and a near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels.

•  A sculpted seat makes the Roadliner S an excellent place to sit on long rides.

•  The Roadliner S achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 42 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 4.5 gallons of gas.

Engine
•  113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled pushrod 48-degree V-twin has massive looks and performance.

•  Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.

•  Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding reliability and long life. Twin counterbalancers keep things smooth but rumbly.

•  9.48:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board.

•  Computer-controlled, twin-bore, fuel-injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; a wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization.

•  Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP) inside the two-into-one exhaust system boosts torque in the 2500-3000 rpm range.

•  Special custom machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles.

•  3300 rpm at 75 mph gives some idea of the Roadliner’s power and cruisability. Maximum torque is reached at only 2500 rpm.

Chassis/Suspension
•  Aluminum frame is light, rigid, and requires few welds. A light, Controlled-Fill swingarm casting complements the bike’s streamline style.

•  With 49.6 percent of its weight carried on the front wheel, the Roadliner S has the weight distribution of a sportbike instead of the typical cruiser, and that means great handling.

•  46mm fork tubes wearing slant-cut stainless covers serve up an excellent ride and a sweet appearance.

•  A tucked-out-of-sight single shock with adjustable spring preload out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads.

•  A thick, richly chromed 1.25-inch handlebar in polished clamps carries the Roadliner’s switchgear wiring on the inside.

•  Flangeless, teardrop fuel tank carries a full 4.5 gallons of fuel.

•  12-spoke wheels evoke a thick spoke look, but carry modern tubeless radial tires; a 130/70-18 front and a fat 190/60-17 rear.

•  Front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm front discs squeezed by strong monoblock calipers for excellent power and feel.

•  Strong and light belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently to the rear wheel.

•  Floating floorboards and an adjustable heel/toe shifter help provide a comfortable, low-effort ride.
