Rider Profile

Best For	This is best suited to an intermediate or experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, characterful V-twin naked bike rather than a full beginner.
Purpose	Built as a sporty naked streetfighter, it favors spirited road riding and twisty backroads over long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider Fit	A moderately tall seat height and firm sporty ergonomics mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a bit demanding at low speed.
Character	Expect a raw, mechanical feel with strong low-to-mid range V-twin torque, sharp handling, and an aggressive, boutique streetfighter personality.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right choice for riders seeking plush comfort, high-mileage touring range, or any off-road capability.

Units

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 2012 Highland 1050 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.
