Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders who have some experience with big, heavy cruisers and are comfortable managing significant mass at low speeds.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and long highway stretches with strong torque rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height is welcoming, but the substantial curb weight demands decent strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in tight spaces.
Character	A big-inch air-cooled V-twin with classic instrumentation and retro styling that rewards a laid-back, torque-driven riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or lightweight nimble city commuting.

Units

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

Feet:

At 734mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Yamaha Stratoliner S, 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.
