Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to an experienced rider comfortable managing a heavy, powerful shaft-driven machine at low speeds and on long hauls.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sport-bike performance with full touring amenities.
Rider FitRiders benefit from reasonable height and strength to manage its substantial weight at a stop and during slow maneuvers, though the low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground.
CharacterA refined, confidence-inspiring grand tourer with a smooth V4 engine, strong brakes, and a planted, stable feel at speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight city commuting or off-road exploration.

2009 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 2009 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.
