Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser at low speeds and in traffic.
PurposeIt's built for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard touring rather than outright speed or sharp handling.
Rider FitAt nearly 340 kg with a low 696 mm seat height, it's manageable for shorter riders when stationary but demands upper body strength to muscle around at a standstill or in tight parking maneuvers.
CharacterThe big 52-degree V-twin with dual spark plugs and shaft drive gives it a smooth, torquey, unhurried character typical of a classic American-style cruiser.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking quick agility, off-road capability, or aggressive cornering performance.

2010 Honda VTX1300T Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 696mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Honda VTX1300T, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
