Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight single-cylinder cruiser suits beginner to intermediate riders who want a manageable, low-stress bike.
PurposeDesigned as a small-displacement custom cruiser, it's best suited to relaxed street riding, commuting, and short leisurely rides rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 740mm seat height and light 138kg dry weight make it accessible and easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a laid-back, classic cruiser personality with modest single-cylinder power delivery and a relaxed, unhurried riding feel.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking high speed, off-road capability, or serious two-up touring comfort.

2006 Beta Jonathan 350 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Beta Jonathan 350, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
