Rider Profile

Best For	This is a homologation-special superbike built for experienced riders who understand V4 power delivery and committed sport riding.
Purpose	It exists to dominate racetracks and twisty roads with razor-sharp handling and a race-bred V4 engine, not to serve as everyday transport.
Rider Fit	The low, aggressive riding position and firm suspension demand a fit rider comfortable with wrist and wrist load during longer stints.
Character	A rare, exotic, meticulously engineered machine with a soulful V4 growl and pedigree straight from endurance and World Superbike racing.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed, upright touring experience.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1998 Honda RVF 750 / RC 45, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
