Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some prior experience, as the power delivery, weight, and wide rear tyre demand confident handling at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for boulevard cruising and straight-line power showmanship rather than long-distance touring or technical cornering.
Rider FitThe low seat height is welcoming, but the substantial dry weight and stretched-out cruiser riding position require decent upper body strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterA muscular, liquid-cooled power cruiser that blends drag-bike attitude with Harley custom styling, favoring aggressive acceleration over nimble handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight twisties or genuine off-road capability.

2010 Harley-Davidson VRSCAW V-Rod Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 705mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Harley-Davidson VRSCAW V-Rod, 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.
