Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who already have some experience handling big, heavy cruisers at low speed.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and long, straight-road highway miles rather than aggressive riding.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height is approachable but the substantial dry weight demands confident strength and balance at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A classic big-twin cruiser character with a torquey V2 engine, shaft drive smoothness, and a laid-back, low-revving riding feel.
Not Ideal For	Not a good match for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or outright top-speed thrills.

Units

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 2005 Honda VTX 1300, 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.
