Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, given its substantial dry weight and long wheelbase.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway touring rather than sport riding, with a big-bore V-twin delivering strong low-end torque.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the considerable weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength at a stop.
Character	A classic American-style power cruiser with a deep V-twin exhaust note, shaft drive smoothness, and a commanding, laid-back riding stance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering performance, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine.

Units

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

Feet:

At 709mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Honda VTX 1800, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
