2007 · Cruiser
The 2007 Yamaha XVS 1100 A DragStar Classic represents a mature iteration within Yamaha's popular cruiser lineup, offering a traditional aesthetic and reliable performance. This model, part of the larger DragStar/V-Star family, continued to appeal to riders seeking a classic American-style cruiser with Japanese engineering. In its segment, it competed directly with established rivals such as the Honda Shadow 1100 and the Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic, providing a strong alternative for those valuing a comfortable, low-maintenance ride.
At the heart of the DragStar Classic lies a 1063.00 ccm (64.86 cubic inches) engine, delivering a respectable 61.68 HP (45.0 kW) at 5750 RPM. This power output ensures ample thrust for cruising and highway speeds. Torque figures stand at 85.00 Nm (8.7 kgf-m or 62.7 ft.lbs) at 8700 RPM, providing a satisfying pull through the gears. The motorcycle has a substantial dry weight of 272.0 kg (599.7 pounds), contributing to its stable road presence. Fuel capacity is generous at 17.00 litres (4.49 gallons), allowing for extended journeys between fill-ups.
Riding the DragStar Classic is characterized by its relaxed, cruiser-specific ergonomics. The low-slung seat, set at a comfortable 710 mm (28.0 inches) (lowest adjustable setting), makes for easy flat-footing at stops, a crucial feature for many cruiser enthusiasts. The wide handlebars and forward-mounted foot controls contribute to an upright stance, ideal for long-distance comfort. The V-twin rumble from the engine is a signature characteristic, adding to the classic cruiser experience without being overly intrusive, making it well-suited for relaxed rides and soaking up miles.
The 2007 Yamaha XVS 1100 A DragStar Classic is primarily aimed at riders who appreciate traditional cruiser styling, dependable performance, and a comfortable, unhurried riding experience. It's an excellent choice for those looking for a capable and aesthetically pleasing motorcycle for weekend trips, scenic tours, or daily commuting where comfort is prioritized. Its accessible seat height and predictable handling make it a solid option for both seasoned riders and those newer to larger displacement cruisers looking for a reliable and enjoyable machine.
