Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior motorcycle experience, as the substantial weight and cruiser ergonomics reward confidence at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a relaxed, big-twin cruiser for highway cruising and light touring rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Rider FitA low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the 325 kg curb weight demands decent upper-body strength for maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterDelivers a laid-back, torque-driven riding character with a deep V-twin exhaust note and unhurried, cruiser-style handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.

2014 Yamaha V Star 1300 Deluxe 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 2014 Yamaha V Star 1300 Deluxe, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
