Rider Profile

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

Units

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
