Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimension motorcycle at low speeds and in tight spaces.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance touring with a passenger and luggage, prioritizing comfort and refinement over outright sportiness.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and low center of gravity make it stable once rolling, but its bulk demands reasonable strength and confidence during parking-lot maneuvers and U-turns.
CharacterA smooth, technologically advanced grand tourer that pairs a torque-rich flat-six engine and automatic DCT gearbox with plush, isolating comfort for covering huge distances effortlessly.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, agile machine for off-road trails or aggressive canyon carving.

2023 Honda Gold Wing Automatic DCT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 744mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Honda Gold Wing Automatic DCT, 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.
