Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, easygoing machine that suits beginner to intermediate riders comfortable with a low-slung cruiser stance.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium rides rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 652mm seat height and manageable weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the long wheelbase demands some deliberate effort at low speed.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser with shaft drive smoothness, modest torque delivery, and an unhurried, low-revving personality.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high top speed, or genuine off-road capability.

2012 Honda VT750C2S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 652mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda VT750C2S, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
