Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for new and casual riders thanks to its automatic CVT transmission and manageable size.
Purpose	Designed primarily as a practical, fuel-efficient urban commuter scooter rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider Fit	A moderate seat height and low dry weight make it accessible and easy to manage for most riders, including shorter ones.
Character	A no-fuss, efficient maxi-style scooter that prioritizes practicality, low running costs, and effortless city riding over excitement.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

2012 Honda Faze Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 755mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda Faze, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
