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.

雅马哈V-Star 1100(在某些市场被称为Dragstar 1100)于1999年推出,是一款中型巡洋舰,旨在直接与哈雷戴维森的Softail系列竞争,具有经典的V型双巡洋舰美学和现代日本的可靠性。它取代了Virago 1100,成为2000年代雅马哈最受欢迎的巡洋舰之一,因其流畅的动力传输和舒适的人体工程学设计而备受赞誉。生产一直持续到2009年,它仍然是一款备受推崇的二手巡洋舰,以其低维护成本和强大的售后支持而闻名。

买家应该知道什么

🔧

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.

"可靠的巡洋舰永远不会让你感到尴尬。"

我在 2003 年的 V-Star 1100 上行驶了将近 30,000 公里,但这个东西从来没有让我陷入困境 —— 那辆 1063cc V 型双缸车可以干净地从空转中拉出来并继续拉动,那个 83 牛米的超大扭矩冲击足够低,足以让城市骑行真正令人满意。它不是一辆快车;170 km/h 是你不经常光顾的理论上限,高速公路通行需要规划,而不是自发性。690 毫米的座椅高度是送给身材矮小的骑手的真正礼物,而且人体工程学设计非常中立,你可以毫无怨言地整天骑行,尽管备用座椅在第三小时左右会变得麻木。我唯一真正的抱怨是双气门 SOHC 设置,它在缓慢的交通条件下运行起来会明显变热,而潮湿的重量让停车场的操控感觉就像与一匹不情愿的马匹搏斗。

优点

+防弹的长期机械可靠性
+座椅高度低,便于使用
+强大的可用低端扭矩
+舒适的全天骑行人体工程学设计
+经济实惠的二手市场价格

缺点

在走走停停的交通中跑得很热
停车速度很重而且速度很慢
高速公路通行需要提前规划
两小时后库存座位出现麻烦
最适合: 想要长寿的新巡洋舰骑手 跳过 if: 你渴望运动或表演

7.5/10
最适合
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.
