The seller offers for sale this 2000 Yamaha XV1600 Wild Star, powered by a 1,601 cc V-twin engine. This example shows 40,000 km indicated on the odometer and has been transformed into a striking custom cruiser, finished in an eye-catching Ice Pearl Violet.

The XV1600 Wild Star, known in North America as the Road Star, was Yamaha’s flagship cruiser at the turn of the millennium and made an immediate impression with its enormous air-cooled V-twin, at the time one of the largest production motorcycle engines in the world. Its pushrod twin delivers its power in an unhurried, torque-laden manner that perfectly suits the classic cruiser experience, while its stout chassis and clean styling made it a favourite canvas for the custom scene, with specialists across Europe building spectacular machines around it. Well-executed customs on the Wild Star platform enjoy a strong following among cruiser enthusiasts, combining old-school big-twin character with genuinely individual presence.
