Rider Profile

Best ForSuits a licensed rider with at least a season or two of experience who wants a refined sport-touring machine rather than a raw track weapon.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring machine that blends V4 performance with all-day comfort for fast road riding and long-distance journeys.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to most body types, though the mass is still noticeable at low speed and standstill.
CharacterDelivers a smooth, torquey V4 engine character with confidence-inspiring stability, shaft-free chain drive engagement, and a mature, unhurried sporting feel rather than razor-edge aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight track-focused superbike or anyone planning off-road or adventure riding.

2010 Honda VFR800 Interceptor ABS 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 2010 Honda VFR800 Interceptor ABS, 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.
