Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate upward who want a relaxed, manageable machine rather than an outright performance bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily for comfortable sport touring with practical weather protection and luggage-carrying ability.
Rider FitIts moderate seat height and manageable but substantial weight make it accessible to most average-height riders, though the heft is noticeable at low speed.
CharacterA calm, shaft-driven V-twin tourer that prioritizes smooth, predictable power delivery and long-distance comfort over sporty excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high top-end speed, or any off-road capability.

2012 Honda NT700VA Deauville 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 2012 Honda NT700VA Deauville, 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.
