Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who can respect a 161 hp turbocharged V6 with a relatively short wheelbase and cruiser-style ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt as a boutique power-cruiser showpiece, it blends outrageous engine engineering and premium chassis components with naked-cruiser styling rather than outright touring or off-road capability.
Rider FitThe low 740mm seat height and cruiser stance make it accessible for shorter riders, but the substantial torque delivery and quick steering geometry demand strong core and arm engagement when the boost comes on.
CharacterThe VR6 Raw is a mechanical showpiece and adrenaline machine, pairing an exotic narrow-angle turbocharged V6 with top-shelf Ohlins and Brembo hardware for a raw, characterful ride rather than a refined all-rounder.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking off-road ability, long-distance passenger comfort, or an easygoing first motorcycle experience.

2019 Horex VR6 Raw 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 Raw, 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.
