Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers due to its substantial weight and long wheelbase.
Purpose	Built for relaxed, torque-driven cruising and boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider Fit	The low seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, but the bike's mass demands confident low-speed control and upper-body strength at a standstill.
Character	A classic big V-twin cruiser delivering strong low-end torque, a relaxed riding position, and a laid-back, rumbling character over outright agility.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

Units

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 2001 Yamaha XV 1600 A Wild Star, 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.
