Rider Profile

Best For	This is a machine best suited to riders who already have experience with rigid-frame customs and springer forks, since there is no rear suspension to mask abrupt inputs.
Purpose	Built purely as a stylistic custom cruiser for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than performance or long-distance capability.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and stretched-out riding position suit taller riders, but the rigid frame means every bump is transmitted directly to the rider's back and wrists.
Character	A laid-back, torque-driven V-twin chopper that rewards relaxed, deliberate riding and turns heads more than it carves corners.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for riders seeking agile handling, long-range touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Samurai Chopper Type 8, 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.
