Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy motorcycle at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for effortless long-distance, multi-day touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting.
Rider Fit	Its substantial dry weight and low center of gravity make it stable once moving, but the sheer bulk demands reasonable strength and confidence at walking pace and when pushing it around.
Character	A smooth, refined, and luxurious grand tourer that prioritizes comfort, isolation from road stress, and effortless highway cruising over sportiness.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city streets, aggressive cornering, 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 2005 Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS, 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.
