Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy motorcycle at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance, highway-oriented touring with maximum comfort, weather protection, and passenger amenities rather than sporty riding.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and low seat height make it manageable once moving, but riders benefit from decent strength and confidence handling its bulk at a standstill or in tight spots.
CharacterA refined, luxurious cruiser-tourer with a smooth six-cylinder engine, shaft drive, and premium electronics that reward relaxed, unhurried riding over great distances.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for aggressive cornering, off-road use, or urban lane-splitting.

2009 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 2009 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.
