Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some prior experience, since the low-slung custom geometry and fat rear tyre demand confident, deliberate inputs at low speed.
Purpose	Built for relaxed cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright performance, with a torquey V-twin that favors easy roll-on power over high-rev thrills.
Rider Fit	Its low 670mm seat height suits shorter riders and those who prioritize confident foot-down stability, though the 293kg weight requires reasonable strength at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven cruiser with classic custom styling, a wide rear tyre for road presence, and a shaft-free belt drive for low-maintenance charm.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, sport-touring pace, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 670mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha XVS1300 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.
