Rider Profile

Best For	This small-displacement cruiser is well suited to beginner and novice riders looking for a relaxed, low-intimidation introduction to V-twin style motorcycling.
Purpose	It's built for laid-back cruising and casual around-town rides rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and modest weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	It has classic cruiser looks and a lazy air-cooled V-twin character, prioritizing style and easy manners over outright speed.
Not Ideal For	It's not the right choice for riders wanting highway-speed touring, off-road capability, or spirited cornering performance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Lifan LF400 V Twin, 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.
