Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginners thanks to its low seat and smooth power, but its 87hp V4 keeps intermediate and experienced riders entertained too.
PurposeA power cruiser (the Magna) built for relaxed street riding, boulevard cruising and light touring, with surprising punch when you want it.
Rider FitLow 710mm seat and relaxed cruiser ergonomics make it easy to flat-foot, though the 229kg dry weight is noticeable at walking pace.
CharacterSilky liquid-cooled V4 gives a distinctive, refined character rare among cruisers — smooth, torquey and eager to rev beyond typical cruiser norms.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road use, track-day cornering enthusiasts, or riders wanting sportbike lean angles and lightweight flickability.

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1998 Honda VF 750 C, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
