About this model

About the Yamaha XVS 950

The Yamaha XVS 950 Midnight Star (also known as the V-Star 950) is a mid-class V-twin cruiser launched by Yamaha in 2009. Its air-cooled 942 cc V-twin with a 60-degree cylinder angle produces 54 hp and strong torque delivered smoothly from low in the rev range. With a characteristic low seat, wide handlebars, and a classic bobber-inspired design, Yamaha positioned the XVS 950 as a stylish and accessible step up in the V-Star lineup. Production continued until approximately 2013.

The XVS 950 targets riders moving up from a smaller cruiser to a mid-size V-twin without the bulk of the 1300. At 271 kg it is manageable for those with some cruiser experience. Typical use is relaxed touring and commuting. It competes with the Honda Shadow 750 and Kawasaki Vulcan 900.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Inspect the carburetors for blockages from stale fuel; the engine needs regular use to keep the carbs clear.

  • Check the front fork for small oil leaks at the damper seals; a common wear point on examples past 30,000 km.

  • Inspect chrome components (exhaust pipes, brackets) for de-lacquering and rust, particularly on bikes used during winter.

  • Check the rear brake pads for excessive wear; the rear brake sees relatively heavy use on this type of cruiser.
