Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its modest power, low seat height, and easy-going manners.
Purpose	Built as a relaxed, low-slung cruiser for laid-back boulevard riding and easy weekend jaunts rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	The low 652mm seat height and manageable 251kg weight make it accessible to shorter or less experienced riders, though the wide cruiser stance requires some deliberate effort at low speeds.
Character	A classic V-twin cruiser character with a torquey low-end feel, shaft drive smoothness, and a relaxed cadence rather than aggressive urgency.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed performance, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 673mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda VT750C2 Shadow, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
