Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, given the bike's substantial 337 kg weight.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stretches rather than performance riding, with its big-bore V-twin delivering strong low-end torque over outright speed.
Rider FitThe low 709 mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the significant weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper-body strength at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA classic American-style cruiser character defined by a torquey air-cooled V-twin, laid-back ergonomics, and belt-drive smoothness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or lightweight, flickable handling.

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 Road 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.
