Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing 800+ lbs of heavyweight cruiser; not a beginner-friendly first bike.
PurposeClassic American highway touring and relaxed cruising, with removable windshield and hard bags for long-haul two-up travel.
Rider FitLow 26.5in seat, wide bars, forward-relaxed ergonomics and huge 812lb mass; easy to plant at stops but heavy to maneuver at low speed.
CharacterBig-torque Twin Cam 103 V-twin that lopes down the highway with effortless roll-on, chrome charm and stately, unhurried presence.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road, track days, tight-city darting or riders seeking nimble sporty handling and quick lean-angle cornering.

2006 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 704mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King, 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.
