Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from novice-plus to experienced who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser rather than a demanding performance machine.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back cruising, boulevard riding, and short-to-medium distance touring rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low 690mm seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to shorter riders, though the heft still requires some care at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with a relaxed torque-driven delivery, more about feel and sound than outright acceleration.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high top-end speed, or any off-road capability.

2004 Yamaha XVS 1100 DragStar Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Yamaha XVS 1100 DragStar, 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.
