Based on the proven Yamaha Virago 535 engine, the Dragstar (named V-Star in USA) cylinders were bored from 5 mm to 81mm and stroked from 4 mm to 63 mm, to net a displacement of 649cc. The Dragstar comes in two models. The custom with a lower seat height 695.96 mm and slightly less weight, and the classic with a higher seat height of 708.66 mm. The classic is approximately 88 kg heavier. The American versions of this bike have a lower HP of 33 @6500 rpm. Reasons for this restricted version may have to do with American EPA requirements.
As of 2005 the Dragstar Classic was selling retail at £5,499 and the basic dragstar (Custom) at £5,299 The Dragstar takes its styling from Harley's Fatboy, with fatter mudguards than the standard bike and shrouded forks.
