Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate to experienced who want a relaxed, low-drama machine rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for comfortable sport-touring duty, covering long distances with shaft-drive low maintenance and weather-friendly ergonomics.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of average build and experience, though its bulk is noticeable at low speed.
CharacterA calm, torquey V-twin character with shaft-drive smoothness that favors steady, unhurried riding over aggressive cornering or acceleration.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing sharp handling, high top-end power, or off-road capability.

2008 Honda NT700V 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 2008 Honda NT700V Deauville, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
