Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a big, torquey in-line four and a substantial 236kg dry weight.
PurposeIt's built as a big-bore sport-tourer/naked, favoring relaxed high-speed cruising and long-distance comfort over outright agility.
Rider FitThe 790mm seat height is manageable for most, but the bike's mass means slower-speed maneuvers and parking require decent strength and confidence.
CharacterA classic UJM-style big naked with smooth, linear power delivery, a planted road feel, and understated, timeless styling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting a lightweight commuter, an off-road machine, or a razor-sharp track weapon.

2019 Honda CB 1300 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Honda CB 1300 S, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
