Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a forgiving, low-drama cruiser well suited to beginner and intermediate riders who want a relaxed, torquey V-twin experience.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low 709mm seat height and mid-weight cruiser stance make it accessible to shorter riders, though the near-285kg mass demands some care at low speed and when parking.
CharacterA classic, air-cooled 75-degree V-twin with shaft drive delivers a steady, thumping character prized for smooth, unhurried cruising rather than aggressive performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed touring performance.

2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic, 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.
