Rider Profile

Best For	Suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its low seat height, modest power, and relaxed cruiser manners.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and short scenic rides rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	Low seat height and manageable weight make it approachable, though the wide rear tyre and cruiser stance require some effort at low speeds.
Character	A classic V-twin cruiser with soft torque delivery, relaxed styling, and an easygoing, unhurried riding feel.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders wanting sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Honda VT 750 C2 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.
