Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some experience, since the torquey big-bore V-twin and quick-steering chassis reward confident, deliberate inputs.
Purpose	Built for spirited sport-touring, blending backroad cornering ability with enough wind protection and range for longer rides.
Rider Fit	A moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible, though the firm sport suspension and lean-forward stance suit riders comfortable with a sportier posture.
Character	Has the raw, mechanical charm typical of early Buells, with a thumping air-cooled V-twin and distinctive underslung exhaust giving it a raw, characterful feel rather than refined smoothness.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 756mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1996 Buell S2-T, 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.
