Rider Profile

Best For	This is a full-size 85cc motocross racer built for skilled, competitive young or lightweight riders, not beginners.
Purpose	It exists purely for motocross track competition, designed to be raced hard over jumps and berms rather than ridden on the street.
Rider Fit	The tall 864mm seat height, aggressive ergonomics, and two-stroke power delivery demand an experienced rider comfortable standing on pegs and managing an explosive, high-revving powerband.
Character	It is a razor-sharp, featherweight racing tool that rewards precise, aggressive inputs with exceptional agility and jump performance.
Not Ideal For	This bike is not suitable for commuting, touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance street-legal ride.

Units

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

Feet:

At 864mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2005 Honda CR 85 R Expert, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
