Overview
The Yamaha XV Midnight Star is a cruiser from the XV family, produced from 2006 to 2007. For 2007, its air-cooled 1,854 cm³ V-Twin makes 99 hp (74 kW) and 167.8 Nm of torque; dry weight is 320 kg.
The 735 mm seat height keeps the seat low, making it easier to plant a foot when stopping. At 320 kg dry, the bike can take effort to maneuver at walking pace. Its belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, while 155 mm of ground clearance can limit how far it leans before a hard part may touch down.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong torque
The 167.8 Nm peak gives the V-Twin substantial pulling force without relying only on high engine speed.
Belt final drive
The belt needs no chain lubrication or adjustment.
Low seat
At 735 mm, the seat height makes it easier to get a foot down at a stop.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
The 320 kg dry weight can make parking and tight, slow maneuvers demanding.
Limited ground clearance
The 155 mm clearance can restrict cornering lean before a hard part touches down.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
