ergonomics of this bike is not as good as I thought

[wildeone]

At least for my body frame, you can put your dimensions
to this motorcycle ergo calculator and see for your self.
My legs are a little bit cramped and indeed it showed on this tool
as too small angle.

Cool website. I'm 5'7" / 30" inseam. Seems like the bike is a good fit for my size. -Jim

I'm 6.1 and 33" inseam and angle of my legs is much worse then on smaller yamaha SR400...

6'1 ~35" inseam. Lowering pegs helped the leg angle. Bar risers helped the arms.
My opinion, the bike was designed around a ~5'8 person.

 

[Grey1one]

Using my highway pegs and the bar riser it isn't too far off from my stock Goldwing, it is a sharper angle on the stock pegs but not to where it bothers me. 5' 11" ~ 30" inseam

With my short 28 inch inseam, I wish the seat height was a little less.

 

[mreric]

average height of the world is 5'9
5'6 fits me fine.

manufacture tend to build bike for most people. you are taller the most

i really think if they want bike to appeal to more people , they are going to start with adjustable handle, pegs and seats. some bikes have this, most dont.

just like in all cars, you can adjust seat, and wheel to a certain extend.

I'm 6ft with a 32" inseam and the NCX fits me like it was tailored, can't fault it myself.

Yep I’m used to it. Most things are too short for me. Counters, desks, chairs are too low. Honda has always done better than most with cars for adequate ergonomics for tall people in smaller cars. Would be nice if the bikes were more adjustable from the factory but that seems to be rare and on higher priced models. Least is was easy and fairly inexpensive to raise the bars and lower the pegs with aftermarket parts.

My next house, which will hopefully be my last, will be modified for my height. Tall counters, washer/dryer on a raised platform, and a tall toilet!

I'm 6' 1" with 32" inseam and the first thing I did was add 30mm offset pegs set down and forward.

I was thinking about this too but it would lower the ground clearance which is not the best anyway so you could not do this pegs scraping...

[bamamate]

You lose about 3/4" ground clearance vs the stock peg nubs using the 30mm pegs configured straight down. Rotated forward would move them up a bit.

[wildeone]

any specific make of pegs are you using able to withstand standing on them off-road?

 

[ronsaw]

I'm 6'4" with a 34" inseam and it fits fine.

 

[Vnc]

I used that specific calculator for weeks comparing my favorite motorcycles before buying the NCX. It really helped with my choice and I'm very happy with the NCX ergonomics. The NCX is one of only a few lower priced bikes with a little more legroom.

The SWMotech is the best off-road design I've tried though I'm currently using Knight Design because they are a little lower than the SWMotech.

 

[kjang]

I am 5'10", 32 " inseam. Fits me like a glove.

Ronsaw..... I'm 6'4" as well with inseam 34" and the NC was one of better fit bikes for me compared to others at the price range. I'm happy.

have you ever ridden long trips??? your legs are badly bent and you sure will feel it after few hours in saddle.

For short trips around town it's not a problem but try to hit the road....

 

[Porko]

Lots of Km's = pain in that position. Good set of highway pegs only thing that work for long hauls, as well as a good aftermarket seat helps, bar risers,cruise control, moving my knees down an inch ot two with drop pegs will not help much if at all for me when I hit the long road.Ride safe
