Rider Profile

Best For	This is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, quick-steering V-twin that punishes hesitation.
Purpose	Built as a street-legal cafe racer that thrives on aggressive cornering, hard acceleration, and short punchy rides rather than covering long distances.
Rider Fit	The high seat height, firm sporty ergonomics, and lean-forward streetfighter bars demand decent fitness and comfort with a committed riding position.
Character	It suits a rider who wants a raw, mechanically distinctive machine with unconventional styling, strong brakes, and razor-sharp handling over outright refinement.
Not Ideal For	It is not the right choice for beginners, pillion-focused riders, or anyone seeking plush long-haul touring comfort or off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Buell 1125CR Cafe Racer, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
