Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits new or novice riders who want a low-powered, non-intimidating machine to build confidence on.
Purpose	It's built as a stylised, chopper-inspired cruiser for leisurely low-speed riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low 640mm seat height and modest 180kg dry weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
Character	It has a laid-back custom cruiser personality, prioritizing looks and easy-going cruising over speed or agility.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for riders seeking highway touring capability, high performance, or off-road use.

2012 AJS Daytona 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 640mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 AJS Daytona 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright 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.
