Overview
The Honda VFR 800X is an adventure motorcycle produced from 2016 through 2020. The 2020 model has a 782.0 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke V-four, producing 107 hp (80 kW) and 77.0 Nm of torque at 8,500 RPM; its wet weight is 244.0 kg.
At 815 mm, the seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down, while the 244.0 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage at walking pace. The front fork and rear shock offer preload and damping adjustments, so riders can tailor the suspension to their needs. The 20.8-liter fuel tank carries a substantial amount of fuel, and ABS is fitted at both ends.

Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS on both wheels
ABS works with the dual front discs and single rear disc to help prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Adjustable suspension
The fork and rear shock have adjustable preload and damping, allowing riders to tune the suspension.
Dual front discs
The 310 mm floating front discs use four-piston calipers for the front braking setup.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speeds
At 244.0 kg wet, the motorcycle can require more effort to maneuver at a standstill or in tight spaces.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Tall seat for some riders
The 815 mm seat height may make it difficult for shorter riders to place both feet flat on the ground.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
