Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some experience on lightweight, high-strung single-cylinder machines, as the tall seat and minimal weight reward confident, active riding rather than beginner caution.
PurposeThis is a purpose-built lightweight single, essentially a road-legal supermoto-style classic aimed at twisty backroads, short thrashy rides, and flickable fun rather than outright speed or distance.
Rider FitThe tall 930mm seat height and firm, minimal-frills ergonomics favor taller or more athletic riders, with a physical, feet-up riding style rather than a relaxed cruiser posture.
CharacterA raw, characterful single-cylinder machine with a strong power-to-weight ratio for its class, delivering sharp handling and an engaging, mechanical riding experience over refinement or comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting a plush, stable long-distance tourer, a passenger-friendly bike, or someone seeking smooth multi-cylinder refinement and low seat height.

2009 CCM SR-40 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 930mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2009 CCM SR-40, with a stretched knee angle of around 155 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.
