Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, manageable naked bike rather than an outright beginner machine.
PurposeBuilt as an everyday naked streetfighter that mixes strong in-line four performance with practical, upright ergonomics.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to a wide range of rider sizes without being a lightweight machine.
CharacterDelivers smooth, linear in-line four power with light, confidence-inspiring handling and a raw, minimalist naked-bike feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, wind protection, or any off-road capability.

2006 Honda 919 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Honda 919, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
