Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders from newer intermediates up to experienced cruiser fans, thanks to its low seat height and forgiving, torque-driven power delivery.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend rides where style and a classic V-twin feel matter more than outright speed.
Rider Fit	The low 690mm seat height and manageable dry weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the wide cruiser stance requires some deliberate effort at low speeds.
Character	A laid-back, torque-rich cruiser with classic Drag Star styling that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive cornering or acceleration.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking sharp handling, high-speed touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

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 2001 Yamaha XVS 1100 Drag Star, 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.
