Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, torque-driven V-twin cruiser.
PurposeBuilt primarily for power cruiser boulevard riding and straight-line muscle rather than corner carving or commuting efficiency.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders, but the substantial 295 kg weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength at a standstill.
CharacterA big-inch, air-cooled V-twin power cruiser with a muscular attitude, wide rear tire stance, and a relaxed but aggressive riding posture.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting nimble agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight everyday commuter.

2011 Yamaha Star Warrior Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 714mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha Star Warrior, 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.
