YAMAHA V-Star 1100 Silverado (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha V-Star 1100 was a cruiser motorcycle in Yamaha's range, also known as the DragStar 1100 and XVS1100, part of the 1100 V-Star series that comprised models of different appearances and displacements.

In 1999, the V-Star 1100 Custom was added to the range, and in 2000, the Classic version made its appearance. The last version added to the range was the V-Star 1100 Silverado, a more touring-oriented machine that packed additional touring accessories.

In 2007, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado, a bike that came virtually unchanged over its production years, without any significant modifications, except for color alterations.

The 2007 Yamaha Silverado was fitted from the factory with the same standard features as the Classic and Custom versions, including a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system, and lightweight spoke aluminum wheels.

In addition, the bike was fitted with more touring-oriented accessories, including a tall adjustable windscreen for better protection, hard leather saddlebags for extra storage, and a passenger backrest for enhanced comfort.

The 2007 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado packed the same 1,063cc V-twin air-cooled engine as its siblings with the same output power, boasting 62 hp at 5,750 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.

The bike packed a five-speed manual transmission for movement coupled with a low-maintenance final shaft drive. Also, the hot gases were released through a two-into-two exhaust system with shotgun-style mufflers, providing a deep, rumbling V-twin sound.
