Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, since the inline-four delivers strong midrange and top-end punch that rewards confident throttle control.
PurposeA do-it-all naked bike designed for spirited street riding, commuting, and weekend backroad fun rather than dedicated touring or off-road use.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height and relatively light dry weight for its class make it manageable for average-height riders, though the wide bars and firm sporty stance ask for reasonable upper-body engagement.
CharacterTorquey and lively with an eager four-cylinder engine character, sharp steering geometry, and an upright naked-bike stance that encourages an aggressive, fun riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, wind protection, or any off-road capability.

2007 Honda 919 / Hornet 900 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Honda 919 / Hornet 900, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
