Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from newer intermediate through experienced who want a relaxed, low-drama V-twin cruiser rather than an outright beginner bike or a performance machine.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium rides rather than speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 715mm seat height and moderate 220kg dry weight make it approachable for shorter riders and those who prioritize easy stand-over and low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterA classic air-cooled V-twin cruiser with modest power, shaft drive smoothness, and an unhurried, torquey feel that rewards relaxed throttle inputs over aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high top speed, sharp cornering performance, or serious off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 715mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1995 Yamaha XV 750 Virago, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
