Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey V4 and a fairly substantial machine.
PurposeIt's built for covering long distances quickly and comfortably, blending sporty engagement with genuine touring capability.
Rider FitAt just over 241 kg with an 805mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable strength and confidence for low-speed maneuvers.
CharacterThe 90-degree V4 gives it a smooth, distinctive growl and creamy power delivery that feels refined rather than aggressive.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for off-road exploration or for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

2013 Honda VFR800 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 2013 Honda VFR800, 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.
