Best For	Approachable for newer riders while still satisfying to experienced ones thanks to its modest power and low-speed torque delivery.
Purpose	A classic cruiser built for relaxed street riding, boulevard cruising, and short scenic rides rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	Low seat height and a laid-back riding position make it easy to handle for shorter riders and those wanting a low-effort, feet-forward stance.
Character	Delivers a torquey, easygoing V-twin character with a classic cruiser rumble and unhurried acceleration.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Yamaha XV950R, 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.
