Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling large, heavy motorcycles at low speed and in parking lot maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance highway touring in comfort with a fairing, windshield, saddlebags, and cruise control rather than for outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitA tall and heavy machine at 376 kg, so shorter or less physically strong riders may find slow-speed handling and U-turns demanding despite the low 690mm seat height.
CharacterA classic American bagger with strong low-end torque, relaxed cruising power delivery, and a commanding, laid-back riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or brisk acceleration.

2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary Street Glide Special Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary Street Glide Special, 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.
