At the heart of the 2011 Yamaha DSC11 Drag Star Classic Eleven 1100 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 1063 cc (64.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 DSC11 Drag Star Classic Eleven 1100 measures 291 kg (642 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 710 mm (28 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.
