Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners or riders looking for a low-intimidation entry into cruiser-style motorcycling.
PurposeDesigned as a small-displacement cruiser, it's built for relaxed styling and around-town riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe very low seat height and light dry weight make it extremely accessible to shorter or less physically confident riders.
CharacterIt has the classic V-twin cruiser look and low-rev character in a small, easy-going, non-threatening package.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or anyone seeking real speed or power.

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

Feet:

At 665mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2003 Yamaha XVS 125 Drag Star, 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.
