Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits riders with some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, as its weight and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed control.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and easy highway miles rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider Fit	The low 699mm seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, though the substantial 307.5kg weight requires reasonable strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
Character	A classic big-inch V-twin cruiser character with a torquey, low-revving powerplant and shaft-drive simplicity favoring laid-back, steady riding over aggressive performance.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

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

Feet:

At 697mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Honda VTX1300C, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
