Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimensioned machine at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage, prioritizing comfort and smooth power delivery over outright sportiness.
Rider FitIts low seat height and reverse-assist help offset its substantial 417 kg weight, but riders will still want reasonable strength and confidence handling a big bike at a standstill.
CharacterA smooth, torque-rich flat-six engine paired with shaft drive and plush suspension gives a serene, armchair-like cruising character rather than a sporty feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight canyon roads, off-road trails, or aggressive sport riding.

2013 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2013 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Deluxe, 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.
