Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, as the weight and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 710mm seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, but the 307kg dry weight requires solid strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA big-torque V-twin cruiser with a classic Silverado touring flair, delivering deep, unhurried power and a commanding, laid-back riding stance.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2001 Yamaha XV 1600 A Wild Star Silverado 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 2001 Yamaha XV 1600 A Wild Star Silverado, 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.
