Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-slung cruiser well suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its low seat height and modest power delivery.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and short-to-medium rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe very low 653mm seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to shorter riders, though the 249kg dry weight requires some care at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser character with a shaft drive for low maintenance, laid-back torque delivery, and understated custom styling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, off-road capability, or serious high-speed touring comfort.

2011 Honda VT750C2B Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 653mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda VT750C2B, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
