Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy cruisers at low speed, since the bike's mass demands confident, deliberate control in stops and turns.
PurposeThis is a big-twin power cruiser built for laid-back boulevard cruising and highway stretches rather than aggressive sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 706mm seat height makes flat-footing easy, but the roughly 340kg curb weight means shorter or less experienced riders may find slow maneuvers and parking lot U-turns physically demanding.
CharacterA classic American-style V-twin cruiser character with a torquey air-cooled engine, long wheelbase stability, and traditional styling aimed at riders who value presence and rhythm over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or lightweight nimble handling in tight urban traffic.

2015 Yamaha Star Roadliner S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 706mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha Star 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.
