Rider Profile

Best For	Suits beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power and easygoing, low-revving V-twin character.
Purpose	Built for relaxed cruising and boulevard riding rather than outright performance or sport handling.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and low center of gravity make it manageable for shorter riders, though its 229 kg dry weight demands some care at low speed.
Character	A classic air-cooled cruiser with laid-back styling, shaft drive smoothness, and a torquey but unhurried V-twin feel.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Yamaha XVS 650 A DragStar Classic, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
