Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who understand the quirks of rigid-frame, springer-front custom choppers with minimal suspension travel and low ground clearance.
PurposeBuilt as a show-stopping custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and statement-making rather than any performance or utility role.
Rider FitThe low seat height and long, stretched-out riding stance are easy on shorter riders but the rigid frame transmits every road imperfection directly to the rider's back.
CharacterA hand-built, big-inch V-twin chopper with old-school Springer forks and a rigid goose-neck frame, oozing custom bike attitude over practicality.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking agile handling, long-distance touring comfort, passenger accommodation, or any kind of off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Samurai Chopper Type 5 Evo, 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.
