Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginner and novice riders thanks to its modest power output and low, approachable seat height.
Purpose	Designed as an easygoing, style-focused cruiser for relaxed street riding rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 660mm seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible for shorter or less experienced riders to handle confidently.
Character	A classic small-displacement V-twin cruiser that delivers laid-back, torque-friendly cruising with an emphasis on looks and low-speed comfort over speed.
Not Ideal For	Not a good match for riders seeking high-speed touring, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Yamaha XVS 400 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.
