Rider Profile

Best ForThis custom chopper-style cruiser suits an experienced rider comfortable with a long, low, raked-out machine that handles very differently from a standard motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt as a low-slung boulevard and show-worthy custom cruiser, prioritizing stance and style over outright speed or practicality.
Rider FitThe extremely low 457mm seat height and long wheelbase make it easy to flat-foot at stops, but the stretched-out riding position and wide 250-section rear tyre demand deliberate, unhurried inputs.
CharacterA brash, attention-grabbing, air-cooled V-twin custom with a wide rear tyre and aggressive 40-degree rake that broadcasts personality more than performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a fast, agile machine for aggressive road riding.

2009 Precision Cycle Works Nightmare Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 457mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Precision Cycle Works Nightmare, with a cramped knee angle of around 50 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
