Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, full-dress touring machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
Purpose	Built for effortless long-distance touring, with a smooth flat-six engine, shaft drive, and full weather protection prioritized over outright performance or sportiness.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and plush ergonomics suit a wide range of body sizes, though the substantial weight demands reasonable upper-body strength and confidence when stopping or backing up.
Character	A refined, armchair-like grand tourer that rewards a relaxed, unhurried riding style and values comfort, stability, and effortless mile-munching over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight city streets, off-road trails, or track-day cornering thrills.

Your height

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 Audio Comfort, 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.
