Rider Profile

Best ForThis big-inch cruiser rewards riders who already have experience handling heavy, low-slung motorcycles at parking-lot speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a torquey, laid-back power cruiser for boulevard cruising and open-road touring rather than sport riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial 346kg mass demands confident low-speed control and upper-body strength when maneuvering it stationary.
CharacterA big 1854cc air-cooled V-twin delivers deep, thumping torque and effortless roll-on power that defines the classic American-style cruiser experience.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or lightweight everyday commuting.

2015 Yamaha XV1900A Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 705mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha XV1900A, 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.
