Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits riders with at least some intermediate experience who are comfortable with a tall seat height and a substantial, dual-purpose chassis.
Purpose	It's built as an adventure-touring machine, equally at home covering long paved miles or venturing onto gravel and light trails.
Rider Fit	The 841mm seat height and 218kg dry weight mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a handful at low speeds or standstill.
Character	The V-twin delivers smooth, torquey, unhurried power delivery that rewards relaxed riding over outright speed.
Not Ideal For	This isn't the right choice for riders chasing sportbike acceleration or track-day lean angles.

Units

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

Feet:

At 841mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Honda XL700V Transalp, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
