Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, no-nonsense in-line four without modern electronic aids to lean on.
PurposeIt's built as a versatile naked streetfighter, equally happy carving backroads, commuting, or handling occasional weekend trips.
Rider FitA moderate 800mm seat height and manageable dry weight around 194kg make it accessible to most rider sizes without being intimidating.
CharacterThe 919 has an old-school, analog charm with strong midrange torque from its 919cc in-line four and a raw, direct connection to the road.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking cutting-edge electronics, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2005 Honda 919 / CB 900 F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Honda 919 / CB 900 F, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
