Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers with big V-twin torque delivery.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitThe low seat height is approachable but the substantial dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength at stops and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA classic big-inch American-style cruiser with a thumping air-cooled V2, chrome-heavy styling, and a laid-back riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or high-performance acceleration.

2007 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Silverado Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha Road Star Midnight Silverado, 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.
