Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy, low-slung cruisers and want a torquey, distinctive power cruiser rather than a first bike.
PurposeBuilt for straight-line power cruiser thrills and boulevard presence, blending drag-bike styling with Harley cruiser DNA rather than outright cornering ability.
Rider FitThe low 660mm seat height and stretched-out, feet-forward riding position suit taller riders more than shorter ones, and the 275kg dry weight demands confident low-speed handling.
CharacterA muscular, water-cooled-engine-in-a-Harley oddball that trades traditional air-cooled cruiser sound and simplicity for a revvier, more powerful V-twin and a bold, futuristic custom look.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, easy-to-flick city commuter.

2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Harley-Davidson VRSCB V-Rod, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
