I have a 2001 vstar 1100, and rode through a monsoon for 3 or so hours. There were trucks and cars crashed on the side of the road, and you couldn't see the taillights of a car 50 yards in front of you. Never lost traction and had no problems. Even strong wind doesn't affect it too much. Pretty easy to work on, too.
They should still be making it, the 1100 is a perfect bike, plenty of zip, reasonably comfy, handles fair, feels light as a feather, sounds good, looks great, shaft drive, great bike to put a wind screen on and take for a 3 hour tour. I like my custom. If i had to change anything i would pull a touch of rake out of the front end, and add oil filter relocater, not a big issue i clean my pipes every time i change my oil filter...
Love the quoting of God's Word first thing, Bro... Getting an '05 V Star 1100 with only 3,200 miles on It... Red and Black. Such a beautiful cruiser... my first Big Bike. Thanks allot for the review. Peace
Your videos of the vstar 1100 convinced me to swap out my 883 sporster for one, I couldn't be happier, fitted with the blue collar bobber kit, cobra pipes and some 12 inch apes... thanks for the honest reviews mate !
I have a 06 Vstar 1100 Silverado about 4800 miles, original battery. Yuasa batteries are the best in my opinion. I have Vance and Hines pipes and a oil filter location kit. No more dropping the exhaust to change the oil filter! I haven't ridden it much in the last 2 years because of my work schedule and a hectic life. Now I have the bike at my home now after 10 years of renting garages. Hopefully this summer we can get out more and ride!
I really like this motorcycle. I have a lot of documentation and parts available. This is easy to fix. I would want an injection system, real cruise control, tubeless wheel. and abs but this is a good motorcycle.
I see a lot of used 1100s for sale that have the filter relocation kit. I just bought a vstar 650 as my first bike, and I'll probably upgrade in 2 years to the 1100, but I will make sure that filter relocation is pre-installed on the bike I get, even if it means I'll have to pay 200 or 300 more, would be worth it.
It's really not that bad. Just remember, it uses the NAPA gold 4935 filter. Black o ring goes closest to the outside, red o ring goes closest to the engine.
I have an '08, like it, just wish it had another gear for long cruises. Has plenty of power but itd be nice to lower rpms. Any suggestions, plus or minus for adding a windscreen or fairing?
I totally agree. I wouldgo on longer trips if mine cruised a little better at 70-75 mph. Definitely need a windscreen. I tried being macho when I first started, after a couple weeks I put it on.

I agree, I have a 2001 with 7000km on it with extended controls (i'm 6'9") And I constantly try to upshift when I'm in 5th. So a 6th gear and a Tech/rev counter wold be awesome.
DUDE!!! Amen great verse awesome to hear you reading that. Nice bike. Said it before but glad I found this channel. Do y'all offer financing too? Thumb's up!~John
No. It's a pretty low bike. I'm 5'11 and leaning on my backrest, I can place my feet flat on the ground. It has a good center of gravity, and is very forgiving at low speed maneuvers.
Hey I'm in Michigan and about to pull the trigger on a 2007 VSTAR 1100 Classic with a lil over 10000 miles, for $3880 ..with tax and title it comes to $4750.. ( this Will be my 1st bike,) my question is tax and title really $870..$3880 is about $185 cheaper then blue book price
It seems everyone who has purposely stolen from me, screwed me over, acted completely disrespectful, have been: religious/ believers/ church/religion people. But, one of my best friends, super "believer", is just the greatest guy. Yea, goes both ways, I am actually more careful/ cautious, with "religious" people.
I don't understand how he pushed his faith? I'm atheist. You pushed play on this video, he didn't walk up to you and start preaching. You should actually know what Pushing Faith is before you start accusing people of it. It was like 4 or 5 seconds of a 7.5 minute video.
2005 VStar 1100 was my 1st bike.
When you stop at intersections stay off the white paint it is slick. (Rain tip)

Being a Christian first then new rider i am pleased to hear his word. I do a lot of prayer when im riding its just me, God, and open road .
I may not be a religious man but may whatever entity you believe in bless you with safety on the road.
I've got a 2000 vstar 1100 custom with a few mods, just hit 7,000 miles. bought it at 5,700 miles for $2,600 a few weeks ago. I love it.
How's it holding up 4 years later? Just bought a 2000 with 8,000 miles

On the 1100, the oil filter is the NAPA gold 4935. Red o ring goes closest to the engine. Black o ring goes closest to the outside.
Nice. I own this bike. 2004. Love it! It only has 3100 miles on it. I’m disabled. Thanks Sean.
@RobertCairns if you ever want to sell that bike reply to this comment. I would love to find a V Star 1100 with that kind of mileage.
@@handyfix2952 thanks but I love this bike too much to ever sell it. Talk to my kids after I am gone.
I know this video is old but I just picked up my first bike it's an 1100 vstar she needs work but man I already love her
Excellent. My new go-to cycle channel. Never miss a vid.

I rode the 1200 sportster, and the 1100 v star, the sportster was great, but no comparison to the v star. It's more like a dana...

Get out and ride!!! Even if it's just a 20-30 minute ride. Great way to decompress and enjoy life.
I love the Word being shared! Thank you brother for the blessing of the Word!
anytime brother
Love the words..Can't wait to visit y'all.

Found me an 06 1100 Vstar with only 3300 miles for only 2600 a few weeks ago great bike smooth ride pretty fast too
That's a ridiculous deal!! I just bought one yesterday 06 custom silverado edition for $1200. 55k miles.
For a point of reference, Wal-Mart sells Frog Togs brand rain suits for $20. 😁
I owned a V-Star 1100, biggest complaint was having to drop the pipes to change the oil.

Never got to ride one, really like the looks, and yours sounds good
LOVE the verse!
I loved my V Star 1100 I had.
love the channel with the words of wisdom!
You do have Females checking out the bikes on your channel! I also loved the VTX F3 1800 :)
Thanks for the scripture readings.
Awesome... I have this bike, and pray before I drive it lol praise Jesus

Where are the water resistant Crocs?
richprevost hahaha well played, sir !
Beautiful
My 03 vstar has a starter circuit short. I dunno what to do to fix ir.
are those cobra pipes
DUDE!!! Amen great verse awesome to hear you reading that. Nice bike. Said it before but glad I found this channel. Do y'all offer financing too? Thumb's up!~John
we dont, but you can easily get financing!
Thanks man Done got hooked on your channel. Keep up the good work.
rain x is good stuff, try it you'll like it.
Yes Traffic circle jump
I have the $35.00 Frog Toggs rain suit off Amazon and it is worth every penny for rainy days, but they don't breathe very well.
Faith: The belief that something is real or true without good reason or evidence. (Dictionary definition) Love the bike though!
hi sean, so I'm 5'3 would this 1100 be too big for me (size wise). I just want a cruiser with higher displacement over 1100.
No. It's a pretty low bike. I'm 5'11 and leaning on my backrest, I can place my feet flat on the ground. It has a good center of gravity, and is very forgiving at low speed maneuvers.
You'll just have to sit on one to see how it feels. I'm 5'9" and sometimes I feel it's a little low. But I do love my vstar.
i just bought a 2003 ,1100 classic where is the gas gauge
terry hendley 😂😂😂
There is none. It's carbureted and has a reserve on the petcock. Mine can go about 130 miles before hitting the reserve.
The Yamaha roadstar 1700 have a fuel gauge.
Lol, around 130 miles before I have flip the reserve and get to a gas station.
2000 Yamaha 1100 V Star Classic VS 2001 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100
Are you selling clothing or giving a review?
I like the words of wisdom nice addition
Crazy to think a FZ-07 has half the displacement with the same power. And a higher top speed. I will never understand cruisers.
whats the other known issue
FYI, in Buddhism Yama represents the lord of death. And Nov/01 is scorpio.
Yama means mountain in japanese

People who feel the need to get on a soapbox and spout scripture are usually the biggest hypocrites.

Good thing then that you don't want to hang or ride with us hypocrites.
Ha ha, you found your own little soap box to stand on.
Ha ha
@@ricksatterwhite5790 Hang or ride?? I don't even want you breathing, ya fucktard!
Good reviews (for the most part) but the whole pushing your faith onto others....not so cool.
+Mark Nycz everyone is pushing something by the way act and the things they say. Thanks for watching

Dude.
It hurts no one with a quick Bible verse.
For all you none believers, just take the words God or Jesus out and listen to the messege. Anyways, try it.
Stop the religious bs
Was just about to subscribe until you busted out with biblical jabber.........
I'm not religious but your not very open minded if you don't listen. Never know, you might learn something.
