Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, exotic machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, powerful, low-inertia V-twin naked bike.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique, track-focused streetfighter, it excels at aggressive cornering, backroad blasts, and standing out as a rare collector's item rather than everyday practicality.
Rider FitA low seat height combined with an aggressive naked riding position and minimal wind protection means physical demands ramp up quickly at speed or on long rides.
CharacterRaw, mechanical, and visceral, this bike delivers huge torque from a big-bore V2 with an old-school carbureted feel and race-derived chassis geometry.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for new riders, pillion passengers, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking creature comforts and low-maintenance simplicity.

2007 Wakan Racing 1640 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Wakan Racing 1640, 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.
