Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, low-powered V-twin cruiser that suits beginners and returning riders comfortable with a low, stretched-out riding position.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and easy commuting rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and low center of gravity make it approachable for shorter riders, though its cruiser weight requires some deliberate effort at low speed.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin character with a soft, unhurried torque delivery and shaft-drive smoothness that rewards a relaxed throttle hand.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high-speed touring, or any kind of off-road capability.

2007 Yamaha XVS 650 DragStar Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2007 Yamaha XVS 650 DragStar, 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.
