Rider Profile

Best ForThis heavyweight tourer suits riders who already have solid low-speed handling skills, since its weight demands confidence at parking-lot speeds.
PurposeBuilt for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a passenger and luggage rather than for spirited sport riding.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably strong and have good inseam reach, as maneuvering nearly 800 pounds at a stop requires solid footing and upper body control.
CharacterAppeals to riders who value classic American cruiser styling, torque-rich low-rev power delivery, and a relaxed, upright touring stance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking quick agility, high top-end speed, or any off-road capability.

2005 Harley-Davidson FLHTI Electra Glide Standard Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 693mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Harley-Davidson FLHTI Electra Glide Standard, 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.
