Rider Profile

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

2011 Yamaha Stratoliner S 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 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.
