Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, though the low seat height keeps it approachable.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stretches rather than sport riding or commuting through tight traffic.
Rider FitThe low 686mm seat height makes it easy to get feet down, but the 300kg dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength at a stop.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser character with strong low-end torque, a shaft final drive for low maintenance, and a laid-back riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for quick city maneuvering.

2007 Honda VTX1300S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Honda VTX1300S, 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.
