Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior experience handling big, heavy V-twin cruisers, given the long wheelbase and fat 210-section rear tyre.
PurposeBuilt for bold, low-slung custom cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 696mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the 331kg mass demands confidence at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA muscular, air-cooled V-twin custom cruiser with a raked-out stance, aggressive styling, and a distinctive belt-driven, torque-focused riding feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.

2014 Yamaha Star Raider S 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 2014 Yamaha Star Raider S, 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.
