Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement cruiser is ideally suited to beginners and new riders taking their first steps into V-twin styled motorcycling.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, low-speed cruising and learning the ropes rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less physically confident riders.
CharacterIt offers classic cruiser looks and a laid-back V-twin feel in a friendly, non-intimidating small-bike package.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for experienced riders seeking speed, highway touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2000 Yamaha XV 125 S Virago Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 685mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2000 Yamaha XV 125 S Virago, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
