Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or riders returning to two wheels who want minimal intimidation and maximum approachability.
PurposeBuilt purely as a lightweight commuter runabout for short urban hops and errands rather than any kind of performance or distance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny weight, low seat height, and modest dimensions make it extremely easy for riders of almost any size or strength to handle and manage at a standstill.
CharacterA humble, unhurried little machine with old-school charm, drum brakes, and a simple air-cooled single that rewards patience rather than enthusiasm for speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking highway capability, passenger comfort, or any kind of spirited, sporty, or long-distance riding experience.

2002 Honda CD 50 Benly Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Honda CD 50 Benly, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
