Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and returning riders thanks to its modest power output and low seat height.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, low-speed cruising and boulevard style riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA low seat and manageable weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders, though the overall mass still requires care at walking speeds.
CharacterA laid-back, classic-styled cruiser that favors easy, unhurried riding over sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting quick acceleration, sharp handling, or any offroad capability.

2011 Yamaha DSC4 Drag Star Classic Four 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha DSC4 Drag Star Classic Four 400, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
