Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some intermediate experience, especially with tall, adventure-style bikes, though the DCT gearbox makes it approachable for less experienced riders too.
Purpose	Built as a genuine adventure-touring machine designed to handle long-distance road travel and serious off-road terrain with equal competence.
Rider Fit	The tall seat height and substantial wet weight typical of this class mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find low-speed maneuvers and off-road recovery demanding.
Character	A rugged, versatile all-rounder that rewards riders who value exploration and durability over outright speed or sharp sport handling.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight city commuter or a track-focused sportbike experience.

Units

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

Feet:

At 871mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2017 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
