Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to an intermediate or experienced rider who wants a torquey, characterful V-twin that rewards decisive input.
Purpose	Built for spirited backroad blasting and urban attitude rather than outright top speed or long-distance cruising.
Rider Fit	Compact and light for its class, with a low-ish seat and manageable weight that suits shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A gritty, torque-driven American v-twin with sharp handling from its rigid frame and mass-centralized design, delivering a raw, mechanical feel.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking wind protection, plush comfort on long highway trips, or a smooth two-up touring experience.

Units

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2001 Buell M2 Cyclone, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
