Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung machine at parking-lot speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance cruising and boulevard touring rather than outright performance or sport riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and pulled-back bars are approachable, but the substantial 383 kg mass demands confident strength and balance at low speed.
CharacterA smooth, torquey flat-six paired with shaft drive gives a refined, effortless cruising character with strong highway pull.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking a lightweight, agile bike for tight canyon roads, commuting through dense traffic, or any off-road use.

2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B 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 2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B, 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.
