Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike for seasoned, confident riders who are comfortable with a heavy, high-torque machine that demands respect at low speed.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique power-cruiser statement piece, it prioritizes visual drama, torque-rich acceleration, and exclusivity over practicality or outright track performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps at a stop, but the substantial weight and wide fat rear tire mean riders need decent upper-body strength and confidence to manage it at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterIt has a raw, muscular, and unconventional personality, blending fighter-jet aesthetics with a thunderous low-RPM V2 punch that feels more like a hot rod than a sportbike.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking a nimble corner-carver, a long-distance tourer, or anyone wanting an affordable, easy-to-live-with daily commuter.

2020 Curtiss Warhawk Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 749mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Curtiss Warhawk, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
