Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, since the substantial weight demands confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance highway cruising with a classic V4 soundtrack and shaft-drive reliability rather than sporty performance.
Rider FitA tall or strong rider will appreciate this bike most, as the near-383kg weight and long wheelbase require deliberate effort at parking-lot speeds despite the low seat height.
CharacterA laid-back, chrome-heavy touring cruiser for riders who value smooth torque, comfort, and presence over outright speed or agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders seeking a light, nimble bike or anyone wanting to tackle twisty backroads or off-road trails aggressively.

2013 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 739mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe, 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.
