Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, long-wheelbase cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeBuilt as a power-cruiser that blends Gold Wing running gear with a muscular, stripped-down custom look for boulevard cruising and open-road touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial weight demands good upper-body strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or in parking lots.
CharacterA torque-rich flat-six engine and shaft drive give a smooth, effortless, high-torque cruising character rather than an outright sporty feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight canyon roads or any form of off-road use.

2019 Honda Gold Wing Valkyrie 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 2019 Honda Gold Wing Valkyrie, 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.
