Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy machine at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance, highway-focused touring with maximum comfort and technology rather than sporty riding.
Rider FitRiders benefit from decent height and upper-body strength to handle the low center of gravity but substantial mass when stopped or walking the bike.
CharacterA refined, luxury-oriented tourer that rewards smooth, relaxed riding and long highway stints over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, agile bike for tight city streets, off-road trails, or track-day performance.

2006 Honda Gold Wing Premium Audio 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 2006 Honda Gold Wing Premium Audio, 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.
