Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, though its manageable seat height makes it approachable for newer riders too.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low 691mm seat height and moderate weight make it accessible for shorter riders, though the 275kg mass demands care at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with laid-back styling, shaft-drive simplicity, and a torquey, unhurried power delivery.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road use.

2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 691mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
