Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for relaxed, long-distance highway cruising with a laid-back custom cruiser stance rather than sporty performance.
Rider Fit	The low seat height is welcoming, but the substantial 406 kg weight demands good upper body strength and confidence when pushing the bike around or handling parking lot maneuvers.
Character	A big-hearted, torque-rich V-twin tourer that rewards smooth, unhurried riding with a commanding, stable presence on the open road.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

Units

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

Feet:

At 730mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager Custom, 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.
