Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds.
Purpose	Built for laid-back boulevard cruising and custom style rather than outright performance or distance-eating touring.
Rider Fit	The low 680mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 307kg wet weight demands confident strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
Character	A classic Dyna big-twin with a raked-out front end and wide bars that delivers strong low-end torque and unmistakable Harley V-twin presence.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort with a passenger.

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

Feet:

At 679mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, 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.
