Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits riders with at least some prior experience, since its substantial weight and long wheelbase demand confidence at low speeds and in parking lot maneuvers.
Purpose	It's built primarily for covering long distances comfortably at a strong pace, blending sport-bike engine character with touring-friendly ergonomics and shaft-drive reliability.
Rider Fit	Riders benefit from a reasonably tall inseam and moderate upper body strength to manage the bike's near 270kg dry weight when stopped or maneuvering at a standstill.
Character	It appeals to the practical enthusiast who wants sporty inline-four performance without giving up wind protection, passenger comfort, and shaft-drive low maintenance for big trips.
Not Ideal For	It's not a good fit for new riders seeking a light, nimble first bike or for anyone wanting a dedicated track or off-road machine.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Kawasaki Concours, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
