Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, forgiving machine best suited to beginners and new riders building confidence.
PurposeIt's designed as a lightweight, economical commuter for easy city riding and short trips rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light 135 kg weight make it very manageable for riders of smaller stature or those wanting an unintimidating bike.
CharacterThe single-cylinder air-cooled engine gives a simple, low-stress riding experience with modest but adequate power for everyday use.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.

2012 Honda CB223S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda CB223S, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
