The 2005 Roadliner Midnight is all about black sobriety mixed with sheer road joy. With all the features of the big-bore Star family in place, top-drawer, impeccable styling was the only thing the new Roadliner was missing. The midnight trim brings in a glossy metallic black livery complemented by rich chrome accents, contrasting with the blacked out engine and cases, frame and forks. Too bad the mag wheels are still silver grey: all-back would have looked much much better.

The 2005 Roadliner combines the classic neo-retro looks of the big-bore Star bikes with modern technologies such as advanced engine building, EFI and sportbike-derived cylinder coating for a package which oozes head-turning factor and provides an equally rewarding feel.

With a bevy of chromed-out parts, lightweight wheels and frame and impeccable, luxurious paint, the base 2005 Roadliner model is an example of how cool can stock cruisers be, even without added bling.

Just like the flagship Stratoliner received an all-chrome version, the 2006 Roadliner is offered in a special S trim, with S seemingly standing for "shiny". If you liked the base version of the Roadliner, and are a sucker for chrome, the Roadliner S will make your heart beat faster. There are only few spots on this bike who have not received a shiny coat of chrome.

Rich, luxurious and with a huge head-turning presence, the 2006 Roadliner S is the perfect choice for those who want to look sharp and ride in style, aboard a retro cruiser with tons of modern tech cleverly camouflaged under a "bikes of yore" disguise.

The meaner the better: this seems to be the philosophy behind the 2006 Roadliner Midnight. The Roadliner was already an aggressively-styled cruiser, with a low stance and elongated wheelbase, and with the ample bars, rider floorboards and sculpted, wide seat providing a comfy stance.

The Midnight version brings forth a glossy, impeccable black paint for bodywork, engine, covers, guards and forks, with several chromed accents which stress the elegant styling even more. A massive headlight matches the beefy forks, as well. With 1854cc of air-cooled v-twin grunt and torque to make even the most discerning of riders smile with joy, the 2006 Roadliner Midnight is both a bike and a statement.

Low, long and aggressive, the Roadliner sports ample bars reaching back to the generous seat, with ergonomics enhanced by the rider floorboards for a relaxed, long ride. Ample fenders shroud the cast wheels and a beefy headlight with classic looks and modern technology dominates the front end.

This cruiser comes with a 5-speed transmission and belt drive, heel-toe shifter and luxurious painting. Self-canceling clear-lens turn signals are also stock starting with this model year.

A blacked-out engine with polished fins, black engine covers, fork and fork shrouds, frame and swingarm, the Roadliner Midnight is as elegant as it it sober.

Still, a twist of the throttle away, the blasting torque of the injected engine will effortlessly carry you up mountain roads, alongside highways and even in the urban clutter. The wheels could have been black, too.
