Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a refined, torquey V4 sport tourer rather than a razor-edged supersport.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances briskly and comfortably, blending sporty handling with genuine mile-munching capability.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable 242 kg mass make it approachable, though its weight is still noticeable at low speeds for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA smooth, characterful V4 engine paired with confidence-inspiring chassis manners gives it a refined, grown-up sport-touring personality.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight track weapon, an off-road machine, or the absolute latest in cutting-edge performance electronics.

2016 Honda VFR800F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Honda VFR800F, 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.
