Engineered by Yamaha for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2011 Yamaha DS11 Drag Star Eleven 1100 features a 1063 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 60.4 HP (44.1 kW) at 5,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 82 Nm (60.5 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 56.8 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (2,500 rpm) and peak power (5,750 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the DS11 Drag Star Eleven 1100 measures 278 kg (613 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 690 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,640 mm (64.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.13 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 543 km (337 miles) between fill-ups.

Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
