Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimensioned machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage, prioritizing comfort and stability over sportiness.
Rider FitRiders should have decent strength and confidence handling over 400 kg of weight, though the low seat height and shaft drive make it manageable once rolling.
CharacterA smooth, refined six-cylinder grand tourer that rewards a relaxed, mile-eating riding style with plush comfort and strong highway composure.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets, aggressive canyon carving, or any off-road use.

2016 Honda Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM ABS 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 2016 Honda Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM 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.
