Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a tall, substantial adventure-touring V-twin.
PurposeA large-capacity adventure tourer designed for long-distance road and light off-road travel rather than outright sport riding.
Rider FitThe 840 mm seat height and 208 kg dry weight demand reasonably long legs and confident low-speed handling, especially off pavement.
CharacterA capable, versatile V-twin adventure machine that blends relaxed touring comfort with modest off-road ability.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, absolute beginners, or those seeking sharp sportbike performance or serious hardcore off-road capability.

2006 Kawasaki KLV 1000 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Kawasaki KLV 1000, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
