Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience on heavier cruisers, given the bike's substantial weight and long wheelbase at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway cruising and light touring with a passenger, thanks to its windscreen, saddlebags, and low-revving V-twin torque.
Rider FitThe low 691mm seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, though the 323kg curb weight demands confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in parking lots.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-driven V-twin cruiser character with classic styling, valuing smooth low-end pull over outright speed or sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sporty cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2007 Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 714mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
