Overview

The Yamaha XV S 1100 A DragStar Classic is a cruiser from the XV family, produced from 2000 through 2007. The 2007 model has a 1,063 cm³ four-stroke V-twin producing 62 hp (46 kW) and 85 Nm of torque, with a dry weight of 272 kg.

Its 710 mm seat height gives the rider a relatively low perch, while the 272 kg dry weight can make slow-speed maneuvering more demanding. The shaft final drive eliminates chain cleaning and adjustment, and 140 mm of front and 200 mm of rear wheel travel help the suspension deal with uneven pavement; 145 mm of ground clearance leaves limited room for larger obstacles.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Shaft final drive
There is no chain to clean or adjust.
Low seat
At 710 mm, the seat can make it easier to get a foot down at stops.
Long rear suspension travel
The 200 mm of rear wheel travel gives the suspension room to move over uneven surfaces.

Things to consider

Heavy at low speeds
The 272 kg dry weight can make parking and tight, slow maneuvers more effortful.
Limited ground clearance
The 145 mm clearance can restrict travel over larger bumps or obstacles.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
