The Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha, part of the V-Star series that comprised models of different displacement engines and appearances. It was powered by a revised version of the Virago's engine, fitted with a new frame and suspension.

In 2006 Yamaha released the V-Star 1100 Custom, a chopper-styled machine that didn't feature any changes over the years, except for color alterations. Besides the Custom version, the V-Star range also comprised Classic and Silverado versions.

In addition to the standard 2006 Custom machine, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Yamaha V-Star 1100 Midnight Custom, a special edition motorcycle with additional touring accessories.

The 2006 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Midnight Custom was adorned with touring accessories, including a tall windscreen with more wind and weather protection, a passenger backrest for added comfort, and side saddlebags for extra comfort.

The bike had standard features, such as a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with an integrated speedometer, a two-piece dual seat with a low riding position, deeply valanced fenders, a dual chromed exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was fitted with the same suspension system as its siblings, including a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a link-type spring preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear.

As for power, the 2006 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Midnight Custom packed the same 1,067cc air-cooled V-twin engine as its predecessors, with 62 hp on tap at 5,750 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) of torque with a maximum peak at 2,500 rpm.
