Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience with big, heavy cruisers and are comfortable managing low-speed weight rather than complete beginners.
Purpose	Built for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance boulevard touring rather than outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider Fit	Its 382 kg mass and low, wide stance make it manageable once rolling but demanding at parking-lot speeds, so shorter or less confident riders may find slow maneuvers a workout.
Character	A laid-back, torque-rich custom cruiser that delivers its power low in the revs for effortless, unhurried rolling acceleration and a classic V-twin cruiser feel.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking sharp handling, light flickability, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 730mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Kawasaki VN 1700 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.
