Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an approachable cruiser well suited to riders who have progressed past a beginner bike and want a relaxed, torque-driven riding experience.
PurposeIt's built for laid-back boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider FitThe low 690mm seat height and cruiser ergonomics make it manageable for shorter riders, though its 278kg wet weight demands confident low-speed handling.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with shaft drive, offering a relaxed, torque-rich feel with plenty of low-rev grunt rather than high-rpm excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring, or any kind of off-road capability.

2011 Yamaha DS11 Drag Star Eleven 1100 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha DS11 Drag Star Eleven 1100, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
