Just found your channel, and I am so excited. As a short rider, I only have a 27 1/2 inseam on a good day, your opinions mean so much. You are one of the very few that discusses inseam, as opposed to height, which is more important. I presently ride a fully decked out Scout 69, as well as a Harley Softail, and a massive Victory Vision which I have named Titanic. Not sure if you have ever riden one, but I would sure love to know how a Cheiftan would compare in suitability for a short rider. I thik if you were able to do reviews on older bikes of all makes and models for shorter riders, you would gain a lot of subcribers, as I know there are so many shorter riders that want to ride the bigger bikes. You have a new subscriber. You deserve to have so many more,
Thanks, I really appreciate it! I think of all the videos I’ve posted/comments I’ve received, those like yours are hands down my favorite and make me feel like I’ve contributed something meaningful! I absolutely agree - inseam is what matters! I haven’t ridden a Vision, but I put 11k on my first bagger - a Chieftain! When I did my review I made a point of emphasizing/talking about my fit. Check it out and let me know what you think. You may already be watching them, but check out @doodleonamotorcycle and @BikesILike. Doodle is a shortie and usually puts good emphasis on that, although at 32” her inseam probably gives her an easier time on tall bikes either of us. Lol BikesILike does videos where he will pose digital models of different heights/inseams and how they may fit on various bikes. Excellent info! Titanic is an awesome name for a bagger! 🤣👍
It’s a great looking bike. I imagine, after riding you FTR for this long it would take getting used to. Good review.
Thanks, and exactly! I’m sure I’d get used to it after a bit, but my baggers/FTR have really spoiled me!
