Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds and on long hauls.
PurposeIt's built primarily for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sporty V4 performance with full touring amenities.
Rider FitAt 329 kg with a substantial seat height, it demands decent strength and confidence for stops, parking, and slow maneuvers, though the shaft drive and balanced chassis make it manageable once rolling.
CharacterIt has the personality of a refined, powerful continent-crosser that rewards smooth, deliberate riding over aggressive track antics.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking a lightweight commuter, an off-road adventure bike, or a nimble canyon-carving sportbike.

2011 Honda ST1300 Pan-European Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2011 Honda ST1300 Pan-European, 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.
