Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior motorcycle experience, as the substantial weight and cruiser ergonomics reward confidence at low speeds.
Purpose	Built as a relaxed, big-twin cruiser for highway cruising and light touring rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Rider Fit	A 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.
Character	Delivers a laid-back, torque-driven riding character with a deep V-twin exhaust note and unhurried, cruiser-style handling.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for tight urban maneuvering.

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 2016 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.
