Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike is best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive, high-performance sportbike dynamics.
PurposeIt's built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitRiders should expect an aggressive forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs that places significant weight on the wrists and demands good core strength.
CharacterThe CBR1000RR delivers razor-sharp handling, strong inline-four power delivery, and race-bred chassis geometry that rewards committed, precise riding inputs.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for beginners, riders seeking upright comfort, or anyone planning frequent two-up touring or off-road use.

2016 Honda CBR1000RR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 Honda CBR1000RR, 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.
