Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt as a plush, feature-laden bagger-style tourer for long highway miles rather than for spirited cornering or performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial dry weight demands good upper body strength and confidence at a stop.
CharacterA bold, custom-styled cruiser with Arlen Ness flair that rewards riders who want to make a visual statement while cruising in comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 673mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Victory Arlen Ness Victory Vision, 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.
