Rider Profile

Best For	This is a boutique, high-torque V-twin naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, powerful, and unforgiving machine.
Purpose	Built as a low-volume performance streetfighter, it exists for aggressive road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting or touring.
Rider Fit	A low 790mm seat height keeps it accessible, but the punchy big-bore V2 power delivery and minimal wind protection demand strong rider engagement and upper body control at speed.
Character	Raw, mechanical, and boutique, it pairs a thumping air-cooled V-twin with sharp chassis geometry for a visceral, old-school-meets-modern riding experience.
Not Ideal For	It is not for beginners, passenger-focused riders, long-distance tourers, or anyone seeking wind protection, storage, or plush comfort.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2008 Wakan Racing, 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.
