Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for effortless long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage rather than sporty riding or commuting.
Rider Fit	The low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial weight demands good upper body strength and confidence when pushing it around off the bike.
Character	A refined, powerful grand tourer that prioritizes plush comfort, shaft-drive smoothness, and long-haul stability over outright agility or excitement.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for city commuting, off-road use, or aggressive canyon carving.

Inseam (optional)

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 2016 Honda Gold Wing Airbag, 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.
