Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, long-wheelbase cruisers at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and long highway stretches rather than outright performance or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height is approachable, but the substantial 363.8 kg weight demands confident strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA classic American-style V-twin cruiser with big-inch torque, retro instrumentation, and a relaxed, stylish touring persona.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or lightweight nimble handling.

2011 Yamaha 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 2011 Yamaha Stratoliner, 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.
