Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner-to-intermediate riders who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser experience.
PurposeIt's built for easy-going cruising and daily rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser personality with modest torque delivery and shaft-drive smoothness.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed thrills, or off-road capability.

2013 Honda VT750S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Honda VT750S, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
