Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
PurposeBuilt as a big-displacement power cruiser, blending Gold Wing running gear with muscular custom styling for relaxed, high-torque boulevard and highway riding.
Rider FitThe low 734mm seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial 341kg curb weight demands good upper body strength for slow-speed balance and parking maneuvers.
CharacterA commanding, torque-rich cruiser with a smooth six-cylinder boxer engine, shaft drive refinement, and long-haul comfort wrapped in aggressive custom bodywork.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight twisty roads or any form of off-road use.

2015 Honda Gold Wing Valkyrie ABS 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 2015 Honda Gold Wing Valkyrie ABS, 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.
