Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a tall, heavy adventure-touring machine.
Purpose	Designed primarily for long-distance touring and mile-munching on highways and open roads, with light off-road capability.
Rider Fit	Riders benefit from being reasonably tall and fit due to the high seat height and substantial dry weight to manage at low speed and off-road.
Character	A big-hearted, torquey V-twin adventure tourer that rewards patient, steady riding over aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for short or novice riders seeking a light, nimble bike for tight city streets or serious off-road trails.

Feet:

At 838mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Honda XL 1000 V Varadero, 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.
