Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with prior experience on heavy, long, low-slung cruisers, given the big v-twin torque and unusual 210-section rear tyre that affects steering feel.
PurposeBuilt for bold, low-slung power-cruiser style riding and boulevard cruising rather than commuting or track work.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 331 kg weight demands confident low-speed handling and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA muscular, custom-styled power cruiser with a big air-cooled V-twin, long wheelbase, and aggressive fat-tyre stance meant to turn heads as much as cover miles.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city bike.

2010 Yamaha Star Raider Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Yamaha Star Raider, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
