Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a heavy, full-dress sport tourer at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sport-bike-derived performance with true touring capability.
Rider Fit	At 331 kg with a substantial reach to the bars, it demands decent strength and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or parking.
Character	A refined, shaft-driven V4 grand tourer that rewards smooth, confident riding with strong mid-range power and stable high-speed manners.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight city streets or any form of off-road use.

2013 Honda ST1300 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Honda ST1300 ABS, 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.
