Best for
Built as a power-cruiser style custom bike for boulevard cruising, weekend rides, and making a strong visual and sound statement rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
Built for
A big-displacement 48-degree V-twin with a fat 200-section rear tire gives it a muscular, aggressive drag-style cruiser character with strong low-end torque feel.
Not ideal for
This is not the right bike for beginners, off-road use, tight technical cornering, or riders prioritizing agility and light handling.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

At 714mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha Star Midnight Warrior, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
