Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase machine at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, high-mileage cruising and bagger-style touring rather than outright sport performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and shaft drive ease physical demands, but the substantial weight requires confident handling at parking-lot speeds and when stopped on inclines.
CharacterA smooth, torque-rich flat-six delivers effortless, refined power with a distinctive boxer character and minimal drama.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable ride.

2018 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 734mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe, 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.
