Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung custom cruiser built on Gold Wing running gear.
PurposeDesigned as a boulevard cruiser and stylish long-distance bagger-style machine rather than a sport or off-road bike.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 341 kg weight demands confident low-speed handling and upper body strength at a standstill.
CharacterA torque-rich flat-six cruiser that delivers smooth, effortless power delivery with a distinctive shaft-driven, single-sided swingarm custom aesthetic.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2017 Honda Gold Wing F6C 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 2017 Honda Gold Wing F6C, 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.
