Rider Profile

Best For	This cruiser suits riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung motorcycle at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard touring with a classic V-twin character rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 709mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 350kg weight demands decent upper body and core strength at a standstill.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven cruiser with a big air-cooled V-twin heartbeat, saddlebags, and a windscreen aimed at unhurried open-road journeys.
Not Ideal For	This is not the machine for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, sport performance, or off-road capability.

2016 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2016 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S, 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.
