Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a large, heavy touring machine at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt primarily for long-distance touring, prioritizing comfort, stability, and passenger accommodation over outright sportiness.
Rider FitRiders benefit from reasonable height and strength to manage the bike's substantial weight at a stop and during slow-speed maneuvers, though the low center of gravity helps considerably.
CharacterA refined, luxurious grand tourer that rewards smooth, relaxed riding with exceptional comfort and effortless highway cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, nimble machine for aggressive canyon carving or any form of off-road riding.

2020 Honda Gold Wing Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 744mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Honda 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.
