2007 Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture

Paint it black.

When Yamaha decided to create a classic touring bike that turns every head on the block with its sleek sophistication and good looks, we realized there was only one place to start: paint it black.

We did that, and then we added even more chrome to create the Royal Star Midnight Venture. It's got the eye-popping style and the smooth performance of a luxury touring bike, with two very appealing added features: a surprisingly low price tag and a 5-year, unlimited mileage warranty.
