The Midnight version of the 2005 Road Star Warrior is the blacked-out take on Yamaha's muscular 1670 cc pushrod V-twin cruiser, with sport-bike style forks and brakes and an aluminium double-cradle frame. For 2005 it also got a new 3D tank emblem and clear turn signal lenses. Mechanically it matches the standard Warrior; the difference is the black paint and trim.
