Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who want a capable all-rounder rather than a raw beginner's bike.
PurposeDesigned for covering long distances quickly and comfortably while still offering genuine sporting capability when the road turns twisty.
Rider FitA moderately heavy machine with a manageable seat height, so shorter or less physically strong riders can still handle it confidently at a stop but will notice the mass at low speed.
CharacterThe V4 engine delivers smooth, torquey, characterful power with a distinctive exhaust note, blending sport bike enthusiasm with mile-eating civility.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight track weapon or anyone planning to venture off-road.

2006 Honda VFR 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 2006 Honda VFR, 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.
