Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very large, heavy machine at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt for effortless long-distance touring, swallowing highway miles in armchair comfort with a smooth, torquey flat-six and shaft final drive.
Rider FitAt nearly 400kg wet with a low 745mm seat, it's manageable once rolling but demands confidence and some strength when pushing it around at a standstill or parking on slopes.
CharacterA refined, luxurious grand tourer that prioritizes smoothness, stability, and rider/passenger comfort over outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight canyon carving or any kind of off-road adventure.

2021 Honda Gold Wing Tour 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 2021 Honda Gold Wing Tour 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.
