Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power and low seat height.
PurposeBuilt as a low-displacement, laid-back cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA charming small-displacement V2 cruiser with a distinctive shaft-driven, classic custom-bike feel.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking strong acceleration, long-distance highway touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2002 Yamaha Drag Star Four Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Yamaha Drag Star Four, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
