Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a large, heavy machine best suited to riders with prior experience on big touring bikes who are comfortable managing its bulk at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance travel, carrying rider and passenger in armchair comfort with full weather protection, audio, navigation, and satellite radio.
Rider FitA tall, wide, and very heavy motorcycle that rewards confident riders with good balance, though its low seat height and low center of gravity help offset the mass once rolling.
CharacterA refined, plush, and technologically loaded grand tourer defined by its smooth six-cylinder boxer engine, shaft drive, and near-car-like amenities.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking sharp, lightweight handling, off-road capability, or a bike that's easy to muscle around in tight city traffic.

2009 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 2009 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.
