Nobody builds cruiser bikes quite like Yamaha. The cruiser bike market, in general, is stuffy with different brands and it is hard to pick just one out of the lot. However, somehow, Yamaha stands out above the rest of them.
We could simply explain in detail why Yamaha has in its assembly some of the best cruiser bikes in the world today, but honestly, it might be better if we showed you why instead. Showing is much more effective than telling, so let's show you 10 of the best Yamaha cruiser bikes that we just cannot stop staring at. Then, you'll understand why Yamaha is so special.
10 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec
K&N have crafted some impressive modifications for vehicles over the years, including the one on the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec. Most of the improvements that they made on the R-Spec are simple, but boy, are they effective.
The main changes they made were in applying an air filter that helped boost the bike's breathing abilities. Improving the airflow of the cycle is enough to improve the overall performance of the vehicle in general. Besides that, the updated design of the bike is gnarly.
9 Yamaha XVS1300 2016
When Yamaha decided to update its XVS1300 cruiser for the year 2016, Yamaha opted not to make any major technical changes to their signature bike. What they did do, however, was deliver a dark, brooding design straight out of a Batman movie. This is might as well be a Bat Cycle straight out of Bruce Wayne's dreams.
Dark and shiny chrome fits the aesthetic fits the night air almost as much as it is a perfect fit for anyone with the color black dominating their closet wardrobe.
8 Yamaha V Star 2005
When YouTuber and vehicle specialist Nick Murray decided to review a 2005 model for the original Yamaha V Star, he dubbed it to be most "affordable custom-cruiser." Granted, he couldn't tell the difference between a cruiser bike made from custom parts and an actual customized bike, but we'll let that slide on grounds that he's right on the money.
The 2005 Yamaha V Star is sleek, slim, and subtle in all of the ways that the average rider should always want their Yamaha to be.
7 Yamaha V Star 650
Spoiler alert: there are going to be a lot of Yamaha V Stars featured on this list, specifically for the next few entries. But can you blame us? The V Star is such a beauty to behold and Yamaha continued to improve it year after year, model after model, and upgrade after upgrade. Just about every upgrade is worth boasting about.
The Yamaha V Star 650 is no exception, as this cycle rides high on a gorgeous chrome paint job and rides even faster off of a 650cc V-Twin engine.
6 Yamaha V Star 1100 2007
Next up, Yamaha introduced to the world the next evolution in their V Star series with their Yamaha V Star 1100 custom cruiser. On top of re-introducing the comfortable low seating and wheelbase that every V Star has, what separates the 2007 model for the V Star 1100 from the rest is a low end torque that helps improve the engine's performance.
Like other Yamaha V Stars on this list - and, actually, the Yamahas on this list in general - the designs are nicely subtle, including ghost flames on the tank.
5 Yamaha V Star 950 2015
Upgrading to the Yamaha 950, specifically the 2015 model, there was already a lot to offer from this cruiser prior to any customization. The lightweight makeshift makes it easy to handle and it is cozier to sit in with a lowered seating arrangement; making it far more comfortable for riders than with previous versions of the Yamaha, or even Yamaha's competitors.
One extra benefit to this Yamaha is that the fender is made out of pure steel, making it easier to apply customized parts to the surface.
4 Yamaha Virago XV920 Alpha
ASE Custom Motorcycles did a doozy on this one, in the best way possible. They took a classic XV920 out of Yamaha Virago series - which, fun fact, actually served as Yamaha's first time they introduced V-twin cruisers to their brand - and produced the "Alpha."
The Alpha saw ASE Customs create something that doubled as both a cruiser and as a cafe racer. All while applying a stellar gold and blue paint job to boot. Not to mention, a XJ600 Diversion petrol tank was added to spice the bike's performance up a bit.
3 100-HP Yamaha Road Star
Baron's Custom Accessories had their hands full when they decided to revamp the 100-HP Yamaha Road Star. The most notable adjustment that was made was obviously the paint, coating the motorcycle in a glorious mix of black and silver coloring across a chrome plastic covering.
The paint job alone makes this a bike that is worth every penny. Heck, the whole thing is almost just as shiny as a penny. Everyone should own something so shiny in their garage, especially when it can speed out of said garage at such a fast speed.
2 2010 Yamaha Raider S
For any fans out there of choppers that still insist on wanting to ride on something a little bit faster and lighter, the Yamaha Raider S is exactly for you. The Raider S was Yamaha's attempt to meld the world of cruiser bikes hand in hand with the world of the chopper.
In doing so, we get a hybrid that offers a subtle take on the classic chopper look on behalf of Yamaha while also giving the rider the option riding something that is lighter, but with tighter handles at a speed that could be just as fast as the chopper.
1 Yamaha Star Bolt Turned Into A Scrambler
Trailing back to another type of Bolt in Yamaha's collection, let's talk about a clever bit of customization for a second. The good ole folks over at ChapMoto decided to take a classic Bolt cruiser and give it a more retro scrambler design.
One sub-frame recreation, a raising of the seat, the addition of spoke wheels and dual tires, a fork brace installation, a new exhaust pipe, a fender trimming, a muffler replacement, and a couple paint jobs later, we have ourselves this beauty to behold.
