Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders who want an approachable, low-slung cruiser without intimidating power.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed urban cruising and short weekend rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter riders or those less confident with heavier machines.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, torquey V-twin cruiser feel with classic Harley styling and a relaxed, unhurried riding position.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking high speed thrills, aggressive cornering, or serious off-road capability.

2016 Harley-Davidson Street 750 Dark Custom Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 750 Dark Custom, 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.
