The Yamaha V-Star 1100


The Yamaha V-Star 1100 as sold in North America, is a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation.
The V-Star began as the XVS650 in 1998, and grew in 1999 to include the XVS1100 Custom. The 1100 uses a 75-degree, air-cooled v-twin which had been in use since the early 1980s.
The V-Star gathered a huge following early on, which led to the addition in 2000 of the Classic model. As opposed to the Custom's bobbed rear fender, exposed forks, 110 front tire and other custom touches, the Classic had longer, more voluptuous fenders, floorboards, beefy fork covers and a 130 front tire.The 1100, along with its 650 sibling, enjoy a huge following around the world.

THE SUZUKI 1100 KATANA


The Suzuki 1100cc katana,when it hit the street,was the fastest mass-production motorcycle in the world, ensuring the new looks were matched by unprecedented performance levels. So radical was the design departure from previous mass-market cycles that most major motorcycle magazines of the era thought the design would not appeal to the masses. Nevertheless it was a sales success, and the motorcycle had a lasting impact on motorcycle design. they also produced 750cc which was visually almost indistinguishable from the 1100cc, and a 1000cc version intended for racing.
