In 2010, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic, a cruising motorcycle part of the V-Star series that was virtually unchanged from its predecessors.
From 2000 to 2010, the bike didn't feature any significant modifications except color alterations. The V-Star series comprised three models: the Classic, Custom, and a more touring-oriented Silverado version.
The V-Star Classic debuted in 2000 and packed factory standard features, such as a pulled-back handlebar and a low seating position with forward-mounted floorboards, resulting in a relaxed upright riding position.
In addition, the bike featured a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated speedometer, deeply steel valanced fenders, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a dual chrome exhaust system, and lightweight magnesium wheels.
The bike's suspension was carried over from its predecessors, with a 41 mm telescopic fork and 140 mm wheel travel handling the front suspension. The rear end was operated by a spring preload-adjustable shock absorber with 110 mm wheel travel.
The braking performance was also shared with its siblings, packing a single-piston caliper with a 282 mm disc on the rear and dual-piston calipers with two 292 mm discs on the front, offering excellent stopping power.
The 2010 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic motorcycle had its power generated by a 1,063cc air-cooled four-stroke V-twin engine, delivering an output power of 62 hp at 5,750 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
