YAMAHA V-Star 1100 Classic Canadian Edition (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic, a cruiser machine part of the V-Star series in Yamaha's range. The bike debuted in 2000, powered by a reworked air-cooled V-twin engine first used on the Yamaha Virago.

In addition to the 2008 standard Classic model, Yamaha launched the V-Star 1100 Classic Canadian Edition, a cruiser machine commemorating 10 years from the first released V-Star motorcycle, offering extra Star chrome goodies.

The 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Canadian Edition was fitted with standard features, including a dual chrome exhaust system, a raked-out front fork, deeply valanced steel fenders, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with a low seating position, and cast magnesium wheels.

In addition to the standard classic features, the Canadian Edition machine featured a deep black lacquer paint job with cream-painted inserts, gold V-Star and Yamaha emblems, a two-tone passenger and rider studded seat, chromed turn signal and headlight housings, and a master cylinder cover.

Besides that, the bike was in the same shape as the standard model, featuring the same V-twin engine. Also, the 2008 Canadian Edition packed the same suspension and braking systems as its predecessors.

A 1,063cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine delivered an output power of 62 hp at 5,750 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm. The 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic Canadian Edition was set in motion by a five-speed manual transmission and a low-maintenance final shaft drive.
