Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a rigid-frame custom chopper that demands deliberate, low-speed handling skills.
Purpose	This is a style-focused custom cruiser built for boulevard cruising and visual impact rather than performance or long-distance capability.
Rider Fit	The low 700mm seat height is approachable, but the rigid frame with no rear suspension transmits every bump directly to the rider, demanding tolerance for a stiff, jarring ride.
Character	A bold, individualistic machine for riders who prioritize radical custom aesthetics and V-twin character over practicality or handling refinement.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking agile cornering, long-range comfort, off-road versatility, or a forgiving ride over rough pavement.

Units

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 2009 Samurai Chopper, 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.
