Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, torque-driven cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for stylish, torque-rich cruising around town and weekend rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 648mm seat height and flat drag bars favor a relaxed, feet-forward posture, though the near-305kg wet weight demands decent strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA bold, blacked-out bobber with a big air-cooled V-twin rumble, chopped fenders, and a stripped-down muscular stance that rewards laid-back, unhurried riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2014 Harley-Davidson Street Bob Special Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 648mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Bob Special Edition, 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.
