Rider Profile

Best For	Suited 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.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider Fit	The 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.
Character	A classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with laid-back styling, shaft-drive simplicity, and a torquey, unhurried power delivery.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring capability, or any off-road use.

Units

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 2011 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.
