Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a refined, torquey V4 sport tourer rather than a razor-edged supersport.
Purpose	Built for covering long distances briskly and comfortably, blending sporty handling with genuine mile-munching capability.
Rider Fit	A moderate seat height and manageable 242 kg mass make it approachable, though its weight is still noticeable at low speeds for shorter or less experienced riders.
Character	A smooth, characterful V4 engine paired with confidence-inspiring chassis manners gives it a refined, grown-up sport-touring personality.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight track weapon, an off-road machine, or the absolute latest in cutting-edge performance electronics.

Units

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda VFR800F, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
