            Model Introduction:
        
        
            The XVS1100 DragStar (also known as V-Star 1100 in many markets) was introduced in 1999 as a mid-size cruiser, filling a gap in Yamaha's lineup between the V-Star 650 and larger touring motorcycles. It was designed to offer classic styling, V-twin character, and Yamaha's renowned reliability.
        
     
    
        
            Model Variants:
        
        
            The model was primarily offered in two main configurations: the Custom (with a smaller front wheel and different styling) and the Classic (with a larger front wheel and more traditional cruiser aesthetics). The manual covers both variants.
