Rider Profile

Best For	This is a bike for experienced riders who are confident with high-output, exotic machinery and a firm, single-seat cafe racer riding position.
Purpose	Built as a boutique performance naked/cafe racer, it exists to showcase an exotic VR6 engine and premium chassis components for spirited road riding and occasional track days.
Rider Fit	The low, committed cafe racer stance combined with a light 219 kg dry weight and strong power delivery demands good core strength and confidence at speed rather than all-day ergonomic comfort.
Character	It has the soul of a rare, high-revving exotic, blending a smooth, unusual V6 growl with sharp Öhlins-and-Brembo-equipped handling for riders who want something distinctive rather than mainstream.
Not Ideal For	It is not for beginners, passengers, long-distance tourers, or anyone seeking off-road capability or plush all-day comfort.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Horex VR6 Cafe Racer, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
