Overview
The Yamaha XV 950R is a cruiser from the XV family, produced from 2014 through 2020. The 2020 model uses a 942.0 cm³ four-stroke V-twin making 54 hp (40 kW) and 79.5 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 252 kg.
Its 690 mm seat height puts the rider close to the ground, while the 252 kg wet weight can take effort to manage at walking pace. Peak torque arrives at 3,000 rpm, so the engine’s strongest pull comes at relatively low revs. The 13-liter tank and stated fuel consumption of 5.00 liters per 100 km correspond to a calculated range of about 260 km; the tank grew from 12 liters for 2018 to 13 liters for 2019. Belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and ABS is fitted to both brakes.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 690 mm seat height makes it easier to get a foot down when stopped.
ABS at both wheels
ABS on the front and rear brakes can help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Belt final drive
The belt does not need the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Things to consider
Heavy at a standstill
At 252 kg wet, the XV 950R can take considerable effort to maneuver at walking pace.
Limited ground clearance
Its 130 mm of ground clearance leaves less room over obstacles and steep transitions.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
