Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built for long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than for sport riding or commuting.
Rider Fit	Riders benefit from decent height and upper body strength to muscle the substantial weight around at parking-lot speeds, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
Character	A big-torque, low-revving V-twin cruiser that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style and long open roads.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 729mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad, 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.
