Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung motorcycles at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, torque-driven cruising and boulevard style rather than outright speed or agility.
Rider FitThe low seat height is welcoming, but the substantial dry weight demands confident strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA classic, air-cooled V-twin Softail that delivers deep torque and iconic Harley presence over cornering finesse.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed performance.

2000 Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 642mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2000 Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
