Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its small-displacement V-twin, low seat height, and manageable weight.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and casual around-town riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts low 650mm seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA friendly, laid-back custom cruiser that prioritizes easy handling and classic V-twin style over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway-passing power, aggressive cornering ability, or serious off-road capability.

2007 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe, 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.
