Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, full-dress touring motorcycle at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance highway touring with a passenger and luggage rather than for outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and low center of gravity make it stable once rolling, but its bulk demands strength and confidence during parking-lot maneuvers and slow-speed turns.
CharacterA classic American cruiser-tourer with relaxed torque-driven power delivery, deep V-twin character, and a plush, upright riding position designed for all-day comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city commuter.

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

Feet:

At 779mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1997 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
