Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience who want a refined, confidence-inspiring machine rather than a raw beginner tool.
PurposeIt's built as a sport-touring all-rounder, equally happy carving twisty roads and covering long highway miles in comfort.
Rider FitAt around 245 kg with a moderate seat height, it demands a reasonably confident, capable rider rather than someone very short or new to heavier machines.
CharacterThe VFR 800 rewards its rider with a smooth, torquey V4 engine, refined handling, and a mature, unhurried sporting character rather than aggressive edge.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for off-road adventures or for riders seeking a lightweight, hyper-aggressive track weapon.

2007 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor 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 2007 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor, 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.
