Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, as the fat rear tire and stretched stance make slow-speed maneuvering demanding for beginners.
PurposeBuilt for bold, stripped-down cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitRiders should be comfortable with a low seat height paired with a forward-leaning reach to wide bars, plus the physical effort needed to muscle its substantial weight at a standstill.
CharacterA brash, blacked-out street cruiser with torque-heavy V-twin character that rewards laid-back throttle rolls over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a comfortable long-haul touring companion.

2002 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 678mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Night Train, 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.
