2005 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Venture[edit | edit source]

2005 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Venture

The Midnight trim introduces a blackened, elegant glossy paint job for the Road Star Venture. The bike retains all its touring worthiness and road stance, but receives an aesthetic makeover to add even more head-turning allure to an already cool design.

The engine is painted black and the polished fins add a beautiful contrast. Chrome accents match the shine of the deep black livery, while burlwood dash treatment takes the 2004 Road Star Midnight Venture further into the luxury realm.
