Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a rider's motorcycle best suited to intermediate or experienced riders comfortable with a light, quick-steering chassis and long-travel suspension that rewards active input.
PurposeBuilt as a street tracker style allrounder, it's designed for spirited backroad riding and urban agility rather than outright speed or long-distance cruising.
Rider FitThe 770 mm seat height and lean tubular frame suit riders of average to taller stature who don't mind a firm, sporty riding position with minimal wind protection.
CharacterIt has the personality of a raw, flat-track-inspired V-twin: torquey, mechanical, and eager to be flicked from corner to corner rather than settled into at a steady cruise.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking plush touring comfort, large fuel range, or a passenger-friendly two-up setup.

2012 Highland 950 Street Tracker Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Highland 950 Street Tracker, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
