Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers at low speed.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitAt over 360 kg with a low seat height, it favors taller, stronger riders who can manage its heft at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA big-twin American-style cruiser with laid-back ergonomics, torquey V-twin pull, and long-haul touring touches like hard bags.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders wanting sharp cornering, off-road capability, or lightweight agility.

2012 Yamaha Star Stratoliner Deluxe 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 2012 Yamaha Star Stratoliner 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.
