Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, full-dress touring machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for covering long interstate miles in comfort with a passenger and luggage rather than for sporty riding.
Rider Fit	Riders benefit from decent height and upper body strength to muscle the bike's substantial weight around at a standstill, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
Character	Appeals to laid-back cruiser riders who value a big torquey V-twin, plush ride, and highway comfort over outright speed or cornering agility.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets or aggressive cornering.

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 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
