Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, high-revving V4 and sport-oriented handling.
PurposeIt's built as a sport-touring machine that blends confident cornering performance with enough comfort and range for longer rides.
Rider FitA moderate seat height with adjustment options and a manageable curb weight make it accessible to riders of average build, though the sporty reach to the bars suits a fairly fit rider.
CharacterThe VFR delivers a refined, sophisticated riding experience with smooth V4 power delivery, precise steering, and premium touches like self-canceling signals and grip heaters.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability, ultra-relaxed cruiser ergonomics, or bargain-budget simplicity.

2015 Honda Interceptor DLX Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda Interceptor DLX, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
