Rider Profile

Best For	This rigid-frame custom cruiser suits an experienced rider comfortable with minimal suspension travel and old-school handling quirks.
Purpose	It's built primarily as a style-focused boulevard cruiser for short jaunts and showing off rather than for outright performance or distance.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and mid-weight build make it manageable at a standstill, but the rigid rear end transmits every bump straight to the rider.
Character	It has a raw, stripped-down chopper personality with a big air-cooled V-twin thump and minimalist rigid-frame aesthetics.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right machine for highway touring, off-road riding, or anyone seeking a plush, forgiving ride over rough pavement.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Road Hopper, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
