Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to brand-new riders or those on a learner licence taking their first steps on two wheels.
PurposeIt is designed for light urban commuting and casual cruising around town rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitThe low 690mm seat height and lightweight 160kg dry weight make it very accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a small-displacement cruiser character, prioritizing relaxed styling and easy manageability over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for experienced riders seeking speed, highway touring capability, or anyone wanting to carry a passenger any real distance.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2009 AJS Regal-Raptor DD125E-8 Silverhawk Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 AJS Regal-Raptor DD125E-8 Silverhawk, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
