Its burly, air-cooled, 65-cubic-inch V-twin pumps out big, fat chunks of low-end torque. Drop in a smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission and low-maintenance shaft drive. And then spoon it all into a long, 64.5" wheelbase strung between wire-spoked wheels and drag-style handlebars.

The V StarŽ 1100 Custom comes all the chrome-plated, teardrop-tanked, low-riding, piston-pounding appeal of other V-twin mega-cruisers, but for literally thousands of dollars less.

And for 2005, you can own a Special Midnight Custom with black paint, distinctive trim and appointments throughout. New features include a stylish, new speedometer face and clear turn signal lenses.

The timelessly beautiful V Star 1100 Custom V-twin. You just might have difficulty deciding which is more attractive: its styling or its price.
