Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or those returning to riding after a long break, thanks to its tiny displacement and gentle power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight commuter and scrambler-styled runabout for easy urban and light rural riding rather than any kind of performance use.
Rider FitThe low seat height and slim, light chassis make it very manageable for shorter or smaller riders and easy to handle at low speeds or when stationary.
CharacterIt has a friendly, unintimidating personality with classic scrambler styling, modest torque, and a simple air-cooled single-cylinder engine that rewards relaxed, casual riding.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders wanting highway touring, two-up comfort over distance, or any kind of spirited high-speed riding.

2015 Honda CB125CL 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 2015 Honda CB125CL, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
