Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider who can confidently manage a powerful, torquey engine and a bike with real presence.
PurposeBuilt as a premium, exclusive allround roadster that blends strong performance with boutique engineering rather than pure touring or off-road use.
Rider FitAt 224 kg dry with a 740-780mm adjustable seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable height and strength for confident low-speed handling.
CharacterThe unique VR6 turbocharged engine, premium Öhlins and Brembo components, and leather seat give this bike a rare, exotic, connoisseur's character rather than a mass-market feel.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders seeking a lightweight, budget-friendly commuter.

2019 Horex VR6 Classic Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2019 Horex VR6 Classic, 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.
