Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a relaxed, torquey four-cylinder machine rather than an outright sportbike.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring GT variant, this CBF1000F is meant for covering long distances comfortably with luggage and a passenger rather than for track days.
Rider FitThe moderate 250kg weight and 780-810mm adjustable seat height make it manageable for average-height riders, though its heft is noticeable at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA smooth, unintimidating in-line four with linear power delivery and a comfortable upright riding position, prioritizing usability over aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp, lightweight cornering agility or any genuine off-road capability.

2017 Honda CBF1000F GT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda CBF1000F GT, 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.
