Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its moderate weight, low seat height, and relaxed cruiser demeanor.
PurposeBuilt as a classic mid-size custom cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding and easy weekend cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low 696mm seat height and manageable 233kg weight make it accessible for shorter riders and those wanting a non-intimidating cruiser.
CharacterA laid-back, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with classic styling, shaft drive smoothness, and unhurried, torque-driven power delivery.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed performance.

2007 Yamaha V Star Custom Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha V Star 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.
