Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners or newly licensed riders thanks to its low seat height, light weight, and gentle power delivery.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruising and learning the ropes of custom-style riding rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitThe low 670mm seat height and 144kg dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and paddle around.
CharacterIt has classic cruiser styling with a laid-back single-cylinder thump, favoring charm and easy manners over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or anyone seeking quick acceleration or high top speed.

2004 Yamaha XVS 125 DragStar Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 670mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Yamaha XVS 125 DragStar, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
