Rider Profile

Best ForThis heavyweight cruiser suits riders who already have experience handling big, low-slung machines at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway strolls where big V-twin torque and style matter more than outright speed.
Rider FitThe low 706mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the near-340kg mass demands confident strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-rich air-cooled cruiser with classic custom styling and a relaxed pushrod V-twin heartbeat.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or sport-bike acceleration.

2006 Yamaha Roadliner S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 734mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha Roadliner S, 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.
