Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already have some experience with heavy cruisers and want a relaxed, low-slung machine rather than a first bike.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and stylish weekend rides rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low 678mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the roughly 305kg weight demands confidence at low speed and when maneuvering.
CharacterA classic American-style V-twin cruiser with a low, stretched-out stance, torque-driven feel, and shaft-drive simplicity over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2018 Honda Stateline Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 678mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Honda Stateline, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
