Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a full-dresser bagger best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in parking lots.
PurposeBuilt for long-haul, two-up touring in maximum comfort with strong torque for effortless highway cruising rather than outright speed or sportiness.
Rider FitAt nearly 440 kg dry with a low seat, it is manageable once rolling but demands decent strength and confidence when pushing it around or handling U-turns.
CharacterA big-torque, air-cooled V-twin cruiser-tourer that delivers a relaxed, commanding ride with plush suspension and a strong low-end pull rather than high-rev excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

2020 Yamaha Star Venture TC Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 695mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Yamaha Star Venture TC, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
