Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, as the big single's torquey, lumpy power delivery rewards a confident, deliberate throttle hand.
PurposeDesigned as a characterful streetfighter-style naked bike for spirited urban riding and weekend backroad fun rather than outright speed or distance touring.
Rider FitA tallish 770mm seat height combined with a substantial 209kg dry weight means shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a handful at low speed and standstill.
CharacterDelivers a raw, thumping big-single personality with strong low-end torque, giving it a distinctive, characterful feel that's more about engagement than sheer velocity.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, passenger-friendly ergonomics, or high-speed sportbike performance.

2001 Sachs Roadster 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Sachs Roadster 800, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
