Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have some experience with heavy, torque-driven cruisers and are comfortable managing a long, low, front-heavy machine at low speeds.
PurposeIt's built primarily for stylish, muscular boulevard cruising and short blasts rather than outright speed, long-distance touring, or off-road use.
Rider FitThe low 671 mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial 295 kg weight demands decent upper-body strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in tight spaces.
CharacterIt has the classic power-cruiser personality: a big-bore V-twin thump, aggressive fat-tire stance, and laid-back ergonomics that reward relaxed, deliberate riding over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a comfortable long-haul touring setup.

2016 Yamaha Star Stryker Bullet Cowl Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 671mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha Star Stryker Bullet Cowl, 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.
