2009 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic User Ratings

Just because the Classic has 1940s Retro styling and an engine with design roots in the 1980s, don't think the 1100 Classic is in any way outdated. The Star engineered SOHC air-cooled V-twin runs lightweight forged pistons for reduced vibration and uses ceramic-composite cylinder-bore plating for improved heat dissipation and cooling. For good reason the Classic is one of the most customized bikes on the road today. especially when a sweet, overhead-cam 40-inch V-twin powers a bike that doesn't weigh so much. It runs lightweight forged pistons for reduced reciprocating mass and vibration. Its ceramic-composite cylinder-bore plating ensures superior heat dissipation for better cooling and longer engine life. The dual carbs feature a throttle-position sensor and are activated by a progressive twist-grip pulley so fuel delivery is accurate under all conditions and loads.
