Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to an experienced rider comfortable with a long, rigid-frame chopper that demands deliberate, low-speed handling skills.
PurposeBuilt as a style-forward custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height is approachable, but the long wheelbase, rigid frame, and stretched-out riding position require reach and steady low-speed balance.
CharacterA raw, air-cooled V-twin chopper with an old-school hardtail-style stance that rewards riders who value looks, sound, and attitude over agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or comfortable long-distance touring.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Samurai Chopper Type 7, 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.
