Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders from confident beginners to experienced cruiser fans thanks to its manageable low-end torque and forgiving low seat height.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, stylish cruising on open roads and around town rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 653mm seat height and low center of gravity make it accessible to shorter riders, though the 249kg weight requires some strength at a standstill.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser with a mellow, torquey feel, shaft-drive reliability, and timeless custom styling over sharp performance.
Not Ideal ForThis isn't the right bike for riders chasing high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering, or off-road adventure.

2015 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 653mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
