Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with heavy cruisers, as the low seat and long wheelbase are approachable but the weight demands confidence at low speed.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and weekend road trips rather than outright performance or commuting efficiency.
Rider FitThe very low seat height makes it easy for shorter riders to plant both feet, though the substantial dry weight requires reasonable upper body strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
CharacterA big-twin American-style cruiser with a torquey V2 engine, shaft drive, and classic custom styling that rewards a laid-back, throttle-in-hand riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 685mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Honda VTX 1300 S, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
