XVS1300A Midnight Star - An awesomely powerful presence
The Midnight Star 1300 knows which rules of the cruiser bible to break and which to obey. The 60-degree V-twin has the fins of an air-cooled cruiser, but is in fact a hi-tech, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected eight-valve engine. This unique machine fuses classic cruiser character with cutting-edge technology and class-defining performance to deliver an addictive kick of excitement out on the open road or just parked up on the street.
