Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have experience with heavy, torque-heavy cruisers and want a bold power-cruiser stance rather than a beginner-friendly first bike.
Purpose	Built as a muscular power cruiser for strong straight-line acceleration and aggressive styling rather than precision cornering or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low 714mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 295kg weight demands confident low-speed handling and upper body strength at stops.
Character	A bold, V-twin-powered custom cruiser with a wide rear tire and aggressive rake, delivering a visceral, chest-thumping riding character over refined agility.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble commuting, off-road capability, or a plush long-haul touring setup.

Units

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

Feet:

At 714mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha Midnight Warrior, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
