Rider Profile

Best For	This is an ideal machine for brand-new riders or anyone wanting simple, low-stress commuting rather than performance thrills.
Purpose	It is built as an economical, everyday commuter motorcycle for navigating city traffic and short trips.
Rider Fit	Its light weight and low seat height make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength, including smaller or less experienced riders.
Character	The Star City is a practical, unassuming workhorse that favors fuel efficiency and reliability over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not suited for highway touring, spirited cornering, off-road riding, or anyone seeking real performance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 TVS Star City, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
