Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for new-to-intermediate cruiser riders who want a manageable, low-slung machine with classic Harley character.
Purpose	Built for short blasts, boulevard cruising, and looking good at a standstill rather than covering long distances quickly.
Rider Fit	The low 710mm seat height and forward-mounted controls suit shorter riders, though the stretched-out riding position can tire the wrists and lower back on longer rides.
Character	A stripped-down, blacked-out anniversary cruiser that trades outright performance for old-school Evolution-engine attitude and street presence.
Not Ideal For	Not a fit for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, serious two-up touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary Forty-Eight, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
