Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation small-capacity naked bike well suited to beginners or new riders building confidence.
PurposeIt's designed primarily as an economical, agile commuter and learner bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe V-twin engine gives it a bit more character and low-end torque feel than a typical single-cylinder small commuter, without being fast.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to riders wanting highway touring speed, long-distance comfort, passenger carrying, or off-road capability.

2013 Honda VTR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 725mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Honda VTR, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
