Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers with a long wheelbase and 21-inch front wheel.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and custom-style presence rather than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider FitThe low 678mm seat height is welcoming to shorter riders, but the substantial 303kg dry weight demands confident low-speed handling and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterA big-torque, shaft-driven V-twin cruiser that rewards relaxed throttle-rolling over aggressive riding, with styling and stance built for attitude and comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda VT1300CR, 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.
