Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a learner-legal 125cc sportbike ideal for new riders or those restricted to small-capacity licences, styled to mimic full-size sportbikes like the Aprilia RS.
PurposeIt's built for short, sporty jaunts around town and light canyon carving rather than outright speed or distance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA nimble, lightweight single-cylinder sportbike that rewards revving hard and flicking through corners rather than chasing top speed.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or riders seeking strong outright performance.

2016 AJS R7 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 AJS R7, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
