Rider Profile

Best ForThis power cruiser suits riders with some experience who are comfortable managing a heavy, torque-heavy V-twin at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt as a muscular custom cruiser, it excels at boulevard cruising, stoplight-to-stoplight punch, and making a strong visual and mechanical statement.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident low-speed handling and upper-body strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, muscular custom character with a big-bore V2 rumble and drag-style stance that rewards riders who want presence and straight-line punch over outright cornering finesse.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight long-distance tourer.

2003 Yamaha XV 1700 Warrior Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 715mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2003 Yamaha XV 1700 Warrior, 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.
