Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders from intermediate upward who want a big, relaxed V-twin cruiser rather than a beginner-light bike given its 303 kg mass.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and weekend rides with strong low-end torque character typical of a 1300cc 60-degree V-twin.
Rider Fit	Low 691 mm seat height and low center of gravity make it manageable at stops despite its heavy overall weight, though maneuvering at slow speed or on inclines requires some upper body strength.
Character	A classic American-style custom cruiser with a torquey V-twin thump, belt drive smoothness, and a stretched-out riding stance meant for style and comfort over outright performance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

Feet:

At 691mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha V Star 1300, 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.
