Best for
Built as a muscular power cruiser for strong straight-line acceleration and aggressive styling rather than precision cornering or long-distance touring.
Built for
A bold, V-twin-powered custom cruiser with a wide rear tire and aggressive rake, delivering a visceral, chest-thumping riding character over refined agility.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders seeking nimble commuting, off-road capability, or a plush long-haul touring setup.

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

At 714mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Yamaha Midnight Warrior, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright 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.
