Rider Profile

Best For	This is a big, heavy cruiser best suited to riders who already have experience handling substantial machine weight at low speeds.
Purpose	Built for long-haul highway touring in comfort, with a torquey V-twin, windscreen, and saddlebags for covering serious distance two-up.
Rider Fit	The low seat height is welcoming, but the near-400kg wet weight demands confident strength and balance during slow maneuvers and parking.
Character	A relaxed, torque-rich cruiser character that rewards smooth, unhurried riding rather than aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a light, flickable city commuter.

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 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Nomad ABS, 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.
