Rider Profile

Best ForThis NC700-based, automatic-transmission cruiser-futurist mashup (mislabeled here as super motard, though it is really a low-slung automatic cruiser/scooter-styled machine) suits riders of any experience level, including newcomers who want a twist-and-go
PurposeIt is built as a low-effort, distinctive-looking urban cruiser prioritizing comfort, easy operation, and futuristic styling over outright performance.
Rider FitThe very low 650mm seat height and automatic six-speed clutch make it easy to manage for shorter riders or those wanting minimal physical effort at stops and in traffic.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, low-revving parallel-twin personality delivered through a smooth automatic gearbox, favoring relaxed, unhurried riding over aggressive sport dynamics.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high top-end speed, off-road capability, or a traditional manual-shift engagement.

2017 Honda NM4 Vultus Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda NM4 Vultus, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
