Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, low-powered cruiser well suited to beginner and intermediate riders who want a manageable, unintimidating machine.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-moderate rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitIts low seat height and moderate weight make it accessible to shorter riders and those preferring a low center of gravity.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser character with modest torque, easygoing power delivery, and a traditional custom-bike stance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high top speed, or genuine off-road capability.

1999 Honda VT 750 C2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1999 Honda VT 750 C2, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
