Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement V-twin naked is well suited to beginner and novice riders building confidence.
PurposeIt's designed as a light, nimble everyday commuter and learner-friendly naked bike rather than a performance machine.
Rider FitA low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to manage for riders of smaller stature or less physical strength.
CharacterThe V2 engine gives it a distinctive, torquey character at low revs that feels friskier than its modest power figure suggests.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking high speed, long-distance touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2011 Honda VTR B-Style Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda VTR B-Style, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
