Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, torquey big-bore machine at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	It's built as a big, muscular naked roadster for confident sport-touring and long-distance road riding rather than outright track performance.
Rider Fit	At 224 kg with a tall-ish seat, riders benefit from decent height, strength, and low-speed balance to manage its heft.
Character	The CB1300 delivers smooth, effortless in-line-four power and a relaxed, planted, old-school Honda feel geared toward mile-munching stability.
Not Ideal For	It's not the right choice for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city lane-splitting.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Honda CB 1300, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
