Rider Profile

Best For	Suits beginner to intermediate riders who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser rather than an outright performance machine.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium distance rides where style and comfort matter more than speed.
Rider Fit	The low 685mm seat height and cruiser ergonomics make it accessible to shorter riders, though its 278kg weight demands some care at low speed and when maneuvering.
Character	A classic, torque-focused V-twin cruiser with a relaxed throttle response and an easygoing, unhurried personality.
Not Ideal For	Not suited to riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or high-speed touring comfort.

Units

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Kawasaki VN 900 Custom, 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.
