Does the Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer fit you?

The Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer (2009–2017) has a 675 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 68 cm — roughly 145 cm (4'9") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 62 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer.

Riding position

As a bagger motorcycle, the Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer puts you in a relaxed, feet-forward stance. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.

What is the Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer best for?

The Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer is best suited to long-haul highway cruising with luggage and a low, planted seat.

Braking & stopping distance

At 278 kg wet plus a rider, a hard stop from 100 km/h on dry tarmac takes roughly 39 m (about 1.00 g). Stopping distance is grip-limited, so it is set far more by tyres and road surface than by the bike or rider weight.

Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
