Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimension machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance, multi-day touring with full weather protection, luggage capacity, and premium onboard comfort features.
Rider FitRiders benefit from decent height and strength to manage the substantial 410 kg weight when stopped or walking the bike, though the low seat height and balanced chassis help offset this once moving.
CharacterA refined, luxurious grand tourer that prioritizes smooth power delivery, plush suspension, and rider/passenger comfort over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight canyon roads, off-road trails, or aggressive track riding.

2014 Honda Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM 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 2014 Honda Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM, 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.
