Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy machine at low speeds and on long hauls.
PurposeBuilt for effortless, long-distance two-up touring with maximum comfort and refinement rather than sporty performance.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and long wheelbase demand confident, deliberate handling especially at parking-lot speeds, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
CharacterA smooth, luxurious six-cylinder tourer that prioritizes plush ride quality, shaft-drive reliability, and rider/passenger comfort over agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets or off-road adventures.

2006 Honda Gold Wing Audio/comfort 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 2006 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.
