Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a tall seat, sporty geometry, and a torquey V-twin naked bike lacking rider aids like ABS or traction control.
PurposeIt's built as a sporty, aggressive naked streetfighter meant for spirited road riding and back-road carving rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 841mm seat height and firm suspension travel demand a taller rider with good leg reach and some tolerance for a compact, sporty riding position.
CharacterExpect a raw, torque-driven V-twin character with sharp handling from its aluminium frame and premium brakes, delivering an engaging, boutique-brand riding experience.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for beginners, short-statured riders, off-road use, or anyone seeking a plush, long-range touring machine with generous fuel range.

2011 Highland 1050CC Viking Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 841mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2011 Highland 1050CC Viking, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
