Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt as a full-dress touring cruiser, designed to eat up long highway miles in comfort rather than to carve corners or thrill with acceleration.
Rider FitIts substantial dry weight and low seat height make it manageable once rolling, but its bulk demands confident strength and balance at a stop or when pushing it around.
CharacterA stately, V4-powered grand tourer that trades sharp handling for smooth power delivery, plush comfort, and effortless mile-munching stability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right bike for riders seeking nimble city commuting, aggressive cornering, or any kind of off-road capability.

2001 Yamaha XVZ 1300 TF Royal Star Venture Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Yamaha XVZ 1300 TF Royal Star Venture, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
