Best for
Built as a bold, custom-styled cruiser meant for boulevard cruising and image-driven riding rather than outright performance or distance touring.
Built for
A laid-back, torque-driven big-inch V-twin character with a raw, custom hot-rod attitude rather than sharp responsiveness.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a machine optimized for long-haul touring comfort.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

At 622mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Big Dog Coyote, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
