Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a first-motorcycle machine built for young children just learning to ride, not for teens or adults with prior experience.
PurposeIt exists purely to teach throttle control and balance to beginners in a safe, low, slow-speed environment like a backyard or quiet trail.
Rider FitIts tiny seat height and featherweight chassis make it manageable for small children, and it demands almost no physical strength to control.
CharacterIt behaves like a gentle, forgiving mini dirt bike with a low-powered three-speed gearbox designed to limit speed rather than thrill.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for adult riders, highway use, passengers, or anyone seeking real off-road performance or speed.

2020 Honda CRF 50 F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 549mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Honda CRF 50 F, with a cramped knee angle of around 45 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.
