Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, rigid-frame custom chopper with a springer front end and minimal suspension travel.
Purpose	Built as a show-stopping style statement rather than a practical machine, this is a boulevard cruiser meant for low-speed presence and long, straight stretches of road.
Rider Fit	The low seat height is approachable, but the long wheelbase, rigid frame, and substantial dry weight demand strength and confidence at parking-lot speeds and in tight maneuvers.
Character	A big-inch shovel-style V-twin custom chopper that trades agility and refinement for raw visual impact, torque-driven presence, and old-school hardtail attitude.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders seeking backroad cornering agility, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or modern suspension compliance.

Units

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 6 Shovel, 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.
