Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and manageable low-end torque.
Purpose	It's built as an entry-level cruiser for relaxed urban riding and short leisure trips rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low 720mm seat height and moderate 233kg wet weight make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and flat-foot at stops.
Character	It has the classic cruiser feel with a V-twin thump, upright relaxed ergonomics, and easygoing low-rev torque delivery rather than outright speed.
Not Ideal For	It's not the right choice for riders wanting highway-devouring touring comfort, aggressive cornering performance, or any kind of off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 653mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Harley-Davidson Street 500, 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.
