Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed, torque-driven boulevard cruising and weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low 696mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the 322kg weight demands confident strength and balance at a standstill or in tight maneuvers.
CharacterA big-hearted, laid-back V-twin cruiser that rewards smooth, unhurried riding with strong low-end torque and classic shaft-drive simplicity.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or lightweight nimbleness in city traffic.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 695mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Honda VTX1300R, 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.
