Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, though its low seat height keeps it approachable for less experienced riders too.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and short-to-medium distance touring rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitThe low 680mm seat height and substantial 330kg wet weight favor taller, stronger riders who can manage its bulk at low speeds and in parking maneuvers.
CharacterA big-torque V-twin custom cruiser that delivers strong low-end pull, a commanding laid-back riding position, and classic chopper-inspired styling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2011 Honda VT1300CR ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda VT1300CR ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
