2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic Motorcycle

Yamaha V Star 1100: Retro style combined with Star engineering

 Key Features:
  • Retro style is even cooler when it's combined with Star engineering, including an OHC air-cooled V-twin and shaft drive.
  • Classic rigid-look rear end serves up 4.5 inches of rear wheel travel damped by a hidden preload-adjustable shock.
 Engine:
  • 65 cubic-inch (1063cc), air-cooled, SOHC, 75-degree V-twin is tuned for outstanding low- and mid-range torque — maximum torque is reached at only 2500 RPM — for exceptional overall cruising performance.
  • Forged lightweight pistons provide greater durability and reduced vibration and reciprocating mass.
  • Ceramic-composite, cylinder-bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation for better cooling and longer engine life.
  • Thick cylinder fins enhance the stylish look while increasing cooling efficiency.
  • Dual, heated Mikuni 37mm carburetors with throttle position sensor feature a progressive pulley, electronic fuel pump and handy side-mounted air filter to ensure consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev range.
  • One-way cam, clutch-type starter decreases mechanical noise during starting.
  • Low-maintenance shaft drive delivers superior reliability and smooth cruiser ride quality.
  • Two-into-two exhaust system with dual shotgun-style staggered pipes play outstanding V-twin music and simplify aftermarket conversion.
 Chassis/Suspension:
  • Low-slung, large-diameter, rigid double-cradle frame with 33-degree rake creates strong, stylish machine with precise, predictable handling.
  • Low, 28-inch seat height lets nearly everybody touch the pavement and enhances maneuverability.
  • Extra-long, 64.8-inch wheelbase produces a long, low retro profile, with spacious ergonomics for added rider comfort and great handling.
  • Beefy, brushed steel telescopic front fork with 5.5 inches of travel smooths out the bumps.
  • Tucked-out-of-sight, link-type, preload-adjustable single rear shock with 4.5 inches of class-leading travel for a low profile that gives up a plush ride.
  • Large-diameter dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc provide strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
  • Comfortably placed, full-size rider floorboards enhance the ride by minimizing vibration and fatigue.
  • Stylish heel/toe shifter adds versatility and enhances overall cruising comfort.
  • Fat, tubeless tires on seven-spoke aluminum wheels combine classic looks with modern ride quality, comfort and handling.
 Additional Features:
  • Industry-leading Star Family fit and finish features rich, lustrous paint and extensive chrome accents that create a timeless machine.
  • Large, 4.5-gallon teardrop fuel tank with class-leading fuel capacity serves up long-distance cruising range.
  • Deeply valanced steel fenders combine cool style with rugged durability.
  • Eye-catching, tank-mounted speedometer designed with a large face for easy reading of tripmeter/odometer displays and turn signal, neutral, high beam, low oil and engine diagnostic indicator lights.
  • Locking compartment under side cover provides secure storage for small items.
  • Chrome 12V 60/55-watt halogen headlight looks incredible and helps maximize nighttime visibility.
  • Maintenance-free 12V 14AH battery ensures dependable, no-hassle starting.
