Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling big, heavy cruisers at low speed and in parking lots.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring with a big, torquey V-twin rather than outright speed or sharp handling.
Rider FitAt over 360 kg with a low seat height, it's manageable once moving but demands decent strength and confidence when pushing it around or at a standstill.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-rich cruiser with classic V-twin character, a low rumble, and effortless midrange pull for open-road riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting quick agility, tight cornering ability, or any kind of off-road capability.

2013 Yamaha Star Stratoliner 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 2013 Yamaha Star Stratoliner, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
