Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate upward who want a relaxed, low-revving V-twin cruiser rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and easy weekend touring rather than speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and stretched-out riding position favor riders who prefer feet-forward comfort over agile, tucked-in control.
CharacterA classic, torque-driven V-twin cruiser with a relaxed personality, low-end pull, and a laid-back sound and stance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2001 Yamaha XVS 1100 A Drag Star Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Yamaha XVS 1100 A Drag Star Classic, 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.
