Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who appreciate a light, punchy single-cylinder machine that rewards active riding.
PurposeBuilt for sharp, flickable supermoto fun on twisty roads and tight urban streets rather than long-distance travel or heavy off-road work.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and tall, narrow seat height favor taller or more confident riders comfortable with a firm, sporty stance.
CharacterA raw, agile supermoto with a characterful thumping single engine, upside-down forks, and minimalist styling aimed at engagement over comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or serious off-road adventure capability.

2008 CCM R45 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 CCM R45, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
