Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom Cruiser Reviews on Cycle Insider (4)
Avg. Rating

I have been shopping around for a Cruiser. I have recently sold my sport bike and am not thinking twice about it since I purchased this V Star 1100 Custom. It rides great, sounds excellent, handles like a dream and has nice chrome. The spoke tires are a bit to be desired but I can settle. I have a Kuryakyn Hypercharger Pro-R, jet kit, and Cobra Lo-Boy exhaust system. It has a great sound and delivers on power on the highway. It's a must have for the great comfort of the ride, also. It's a great transition bike for those who want to get out of the sportbike phase and into a cruiser. Have fun and happy riding.

This bike is very well constructed and very comfortable. I'm proud to own this machine. I have added many extras to this bike. It is very simple to find parts and accessories. I would recommend this bike to everyone.

This is a great bike and a lot of fun. I have taken it on several long rides and it performs great and is a comfortable ride. It also has the power for the freeway.

I bought the 2007 Vstar 1100 Custom after being out of the bike world for 5 or so years. I had some very specific requirements, namely comfort, handling, decent usable power, and heavy duty enough to take a nice trip on yet still light and nimble enough for daily commute. The Vstar delivered on all counts.. sure, there are bikes out there with much more of any of the above, but on average this had everything. I have put a backrest and bags on it, and a windshield will be next. After that, probably some slipons and a big air kit. My only complaint is that this bike really could use a 6th gear. The shift points are so low that you are in 5th gear by the time you get to 50 mph, then it just seems like you are wringing its poor little neck and it's begging for an upshift. Maybe the performance mods will help that. Besides that, this has been the perfect bike for getting back into motorcycling in a dangerous environment (Dallas) without the temptation to get myself in trouble with it :-)
