Purpose	Built for effortless long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage, prioritizing comfort and smooth power delivery over sportiness.
Rider Fit	Its substantial 421 kg weight and low seat height make it manageable once rolling, but riders need decent strength and confidence to handle it at a standstill or in tight spaces.
Character	A refined, armchair-like grand tourer with a smooth flat-six engine, shaft drive, and premium features like cruise control and electric reverse for effortless highway cruising.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight canyon roads or any off-road use.

Units

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

Feet:

At 739mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright 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.
