Yamaha V-star 1100

The Yamaha V-star 1100 has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 62 hp and weighs 272 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Yamaha V-Star 1100 (일부 시장에서는 드래그스타 1100으로 알려짐) 은 할리데이비슨의 소프테일 라인업과 직접 경쟁하도록 설계된 중형 크루저로 1999년에 출시되었습니다. 클래식한 V-트윈 크루저 미학과 현대적인 일본의 신뢰성을 특징으로 합니다.이 모델은 Virago 1100을 대체했으며 부드러운 동력 전달과 편안한 인체공학적 설계로 찬사를 받으며 2000년대까지 Yamaha에서 가장 인기 있는 순양함 중 하나가 되었습니다.생산은 2009년까지 계속되었으며, 낮은 유지보수 비용과 강력한 애프터마켓 지원으로 유명한 중고 크루저로 여전히 높은 평가를 받고 있습니다.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항

🔧

Strong Long-Term Reliability

The V-Star 1100's air-cooled V-twin engine is known for routinely exceeding 50,000–80,000 miles with basic maintenance. It's widely regarded as one of the most dependable bikes in the mid-size cruiser segment.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

The shaft drive system can develop leaks or wear if fluid changes are neglected — always check for oil seepage around the rear drive housing before buying used. A well-maintained shaft drive, however, is virtually maintenance-free.

💰

Slow Depreciation Curve

The V-Star 1100 holds its value unusually well for a mid-size cruiser, partly due to strong demand and a loyal owner community. Used models from the early 2000s still command $3,000–$5,000 in good condition.

7.8/10

"절대 당황하지 않는 믿을 수 있는 크루저."

2003 V-Star 1100으로 거의 30,000km를 주행했는데 한 번도 발이 묶인 적이 없습니다. 1063cc V-트윈은 공회전 상태에서 깔끔하게 당겨지고 계속 당깁니다. 그 빠른 83Nm 토크 히트는 도시 라이딩이 정말 만족스러울 만큼 충분히 낮게 도달하기 때문입니다.속도가 빠른 자전거는 아닙니다. 시속 170km는 자주 방문하지 않는 이론적인 상한선이고, 고속도로를 지나가려면 즉흥성이 아니라 계획을 세워야 합니다.690mm의 시트 높이는 키가 작은 라이더를 위한 진정한 선물이며, 인체공학적 설계가 매우 중립적이어서 3시간 즈음이면 스톡 시트가 마비되긴 하지만 하루 종일 불평 없이 라이딩할 수 있습니다.유일한 불만은 교통이 느릴 때 눈에 띄게 뜨겁게 작동하는 2-밸브 SOHC 설정과 주차장을 조종하는 것이 꺼려지는 말과 주차장 조작을 꺼리는 듯한 느낌을 주는 젖은 무게입니다.

장점

+방탄, 장기간의 기계적 신뢰성
+낮고 접근하기 쉬운 좌석 높이
+강력한 사용 가능한 저가형 토크
+편안한 온종일 라이딩할 수 있는 인체공학적 디자인
+저렴한 중고 시장 가격

단점

정차 후 운행이 잦은 교통 상황
주차 속도가 느리고 무겁습니다.
고속도로 통행에는 사전 계획이 필요합니다
2시간 후 재고 좌석 마비
최적 대상: 장수를 원하는 신규 크루저 라이더 건너뛰기: 스포츠나 퍼포먼스를 갈망하시나요?

중고 구매자 리뷰

7.5/10
최적 대상
New-to-mid riders wanting reliable, low-drama cruising

"A dependable, unpretentious cruiser that rewards patient, practical riders."

$2,500-$5,000 used

The V-Star 1100 is one of the most bulletproof cruisers you'll find on the used market, and Yamaha really got the basics right here. The air-cooled V-twin pulls smoothly from low revs, the shaft drive means zero chain maintenance headaches, and these things genuinely last well past 50,000 miles when properly serviced. For the money, it's hard to argue with the value proposition. That said, you need to go in with eyes open. The stock suspension is agricultural at best — it'll have you feeling every crack in the pavement, and the rear shock is particularly disappointing. Carburetor models need the usual jetting attention, especially if the previous owner left fuel sitting. Check the carb carefully on anything pre-2009. Also worth noting: the riding position is pure shadow-style cruiser, so if you're tall, you'll be cramped within an hour. Used prices are reasonable because there are loads of them out there. That's actually a good thing — parts are plentiful and any competent indie mechanic knows these bikes. Don't pay over $4,500 for anything under 30k miles.
