Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider who appreciates a torquey, characterful V-twin with sharp, unconventional handling.
Purpose	Built for aggressive cornering and spirited backroad riding rather than outright top-speed runs or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	A light, compact chassis with a low center of mass makes it manageable for riders of varying size, though the firm suspension and sporty ergonomics reward a fit, active riding style.
Character	Quirky and distinctive, with a thumping V-twin, mass-centralized design, and race-derived brakes that give it a raw, engaging personality unlike typical naked bikes.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or off-road versatility.

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 2004 Buell Firebolt XB12R, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
