Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers due to its substantial weight and long wheelbase.
PurposeBuilt as a laid-back highway cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 709mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, though the 351kg weight demands confident low-speed control and upper body strength at a stop.
CharacterA classic big-twin cruiser with a torquey air-cooled V-twin, belt drive smoothness, and a relaxed feet-forward riding stance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2011 Yamaha Road Star Silverado Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 709mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha Road Star Silverado, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
