The Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado was a cruiser motorcycle part of the V-Star 1100 series in Yamaha's range. Compared to the Custom and Classic versions, the Silverado was a more touring-oriented machine fitted with touring accessories.
In 2008, Yamaha released the V-Star 1100 Silverado, which came with the same classic features as the other two models, including a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat with a low riding position, a dual chromed exhaust system, and lightweight aluminum wheels.
Besides the classic features, the bike was also fitted with touring amenities, including hard leather saddlebags for extra storage, a passenger backrest for more comfort, and a tall adjustable windscreen with better wind and weather protection.
In addition to the standard model, the Japanese maker released the 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado Canadian Edition, which came equipped with additional features and customer bonus accessories.
The 2008 Canadian Edition came in a deep black lacquer paint job with cream-painted inserts, classic gold colored V-Star tank, Yamaha side cover emblems, two-tone chrome studded rider and passenger seats, and chromed turn signal housings, headlight housing, and master cylinder cover.
Besides that, the 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado Canadian Edition packed the same performance specification as the standard model, with a 1,063cc air-cooled V-twin engine, delivering a power output of 62 hp at 5,750 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
