Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike is best suited to beginners or learner-licence riders taking their first steps into motorcycling.
PurposeIt's designed as a lightweight, low-powered sport-styled commuter for short trips and everyday runabouts rather than serious performance riding.
Rider FitThe 860mm seat height and 124kg dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or lighter riders and easy to handle at low speeds.
CharacterDespite its sporty styling with a 21-inch front wheel, it behaves more like a friendly, unintimidating small-capacity all-rounder than a genuine sportbike.
Not Ideal ForThis isn't the right bike for experienced riders seeking real speed, highway touring comfort, or a capable off-road machine.

2013 Hartford VR-125H Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2013 Hartford VR-125H, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
