Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have some experience with heavier machines and want a relaxed, cruiser-style ride rather than a steep learning curve.
PurposeIt's built for long, laid-back highway miles and weekend touring with a passenger, thanks to its shaft drive, saddlebags, and windscreen.
Rider FitThe low seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but its substantial weight demands confident low-speed handling and strength when maneuvering at a stop.
CharacterIt has the soul of a classic V-twin cruiser, delivering torquey, unhurried power delivery paired with touring comfort and easy-going shaft-driven reliability.
Not Ideal ForThis isn't the machine for riders chasing sharp cornering performance, track days, or any kind of off-road adventure.

2015 Honda Interstate ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 681mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda Interstate ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
