Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low power, and forgiving nature; note the listed dry weight of 310 kg appears to be a data error inconsistent with this class of lightweight supermoto.
Purpose	Built as a fun, nimble street-oriented supermoto for tight roads, urban commuting, and playful backroad riding rather than outright speed or long-distance travel.
Rider Fit	Its tall 805 mm seat height and slim, light chassis suit riders of average to taller stature who want an easy-to-flick, low-effort bike.
Character	A cheeky, flickable small-bore supermoto that rewards momentum-based riding, tight cornering lines, and playful throttle use over raw horsepower.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting highway speed, long-haul touring comfort, or serious off-road capability given its road-biased 17 inch wheels and modest single-cylinder engine.

Units

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Honda CRF230M, 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.
