Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung motorcycles, as the substantial weight demands confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway touring and long-distance cruising rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it accessible to shorter riders, but the considerable dry weight requires reasonable strength for maneuvering at a standstill or in tight spaces.
CharacterA classic big-inch V-twin cruiser with a slow-revving, torque-driven power delivery that rewards a laid-back riding style over aggressive throttle use.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed performance, or any off-road capability.

1995 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Road King 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 1995 Harley-Davidson 1340 Electra Glide Road King, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
