Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who have moved beyond entry-level machines and want a confident, torque-rich four-cylinder platform without extreme sportbike intensity.
PurposeIt's built for covering long distances comfortably while still offering enough performance for spirited road riding.
Rider FitThe 795mm adjustable seat and upright ergonomics make it manageable for a wide range of rider heights, though its 251kg weight demands reasonable strength at low speeds.
CharacterA composed, all-rounder sport tourer that blends inline-four smoothness with practical touring features like adjustable screen and handlebars.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or razor-sharp track-focused handling.

2011 Honda CBF1000 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 2011 Honda CBF1000, 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.
