Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior experience, given its substantial weight and shaft-drive cruiser-touring character rather than beginner-friendly manners.
Purpose	Built as a mid-80s sport-touring cruiser, blending a punchy four-cylinder engine with a comfortable, relaxed riding position for longer road trips.
Rider Fit	The low-ish seat height and cruiser-style ergonomics suit a range of body sizes, though the near 230kg wet weight demands confident handling at low speed.
Character	A charismatic, torquey classic Japanese four with a shaft drive, offering surprisingly strong acceleration for its era wrapped in a relaxed touring demeanor.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical corners or any form of off-road use.

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1986 Yamaha XJ 750 Maxim X, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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).
