Rider Profile

Best ForWell-suited to riders with at least some experience on heavier cruisers, given the low-slung but substantial weight and shaft-drive cruiser dynamics.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, long-distance cruiser touring with saddlebags and a windscreen rather than sharp handling or speed.
Rider FitThe low 709mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, though the 264kg curb weight demands confident low-speed control.
CharacterA classic, air-cooled V-twin cruiser with laid-back power delivery, shaft drive smoothness, and traditional touring comforts.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sport-bike acceleration, aggressive cornering ability, or any off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha V 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.
