Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, long, low-slung cruisers and are comfortable managing a bike that steers slowly and carries substantial weight low and far forward.
Purpose	Built for boulevard cruising and making a visual statement with its massive 210mm rear tire and stretched custom-bike proportions rather than for outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider Fit	The very low 696mm seat height suits shorter riders and those who want to plant both feet firmly, but the 331kg mass demands strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds and when picking the bike up from a stop.
Character	A big-inch, air-cooled V-twin custom cruiser with OHV torque character, a laid-back riding position, and styling that prioritizes drag-bike-inspired aesthetics over sport performance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good match for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical roads.

Units

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Raider, 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.
