Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience who appreciate classic, low-revving twins over outright performance, and note the specs describe a bespoke LSL rebuild of a Kawasaki W650 rather than a mass-market model.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, stylish retro riding and boulevard cruising rather than aggressive sport riding or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA low seat height and moderate wheelbase make it approachable and manageable for shorter riders or those who prefer a low center of gravity.
CharacterThe bike has a classic air-cooled-style twin personality, with premium Ohlins suspension and Galfer brakes giving it a refined, boutique custom feel beneath its retro looks.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking high top speeds, aggressive cornering clearance, off-road capability, or serious two-up long-distance touring comfort.

2013 LSL Clubman W 740 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 LSL Clubman W 740 R, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
