Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, though the low seat and mellow power delivery make it approachable for confident newer riders too.
Purpose	Built for relaxed, torque-driven boulevard cruising and highway jaunts rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider Fit	Its low 710mm seat height and substantial 307kg dry weight favor riders who are comfortable managing bulk at low speed rather than those needing an ultra-light, flickable machine.
Character	A big V-twin cruiser character defined by low-end torque, a relaxed riding position, and classic American-style styling and sound.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high top-speed performance.

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 1999 Yamaha XV 1600 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.
