Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders who have already built some confidence on smaller bikes and want a sharp step up in power and immediacy.
Purpose	Designed as a punchy, in-line four naked bike for spirited street riding, quick city bursts, and weekend canyon carving rather than long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	A light-ish 197 kg wet weight and 780 mm seat height make it manageable for average-height riders, though the firm, sporty ergonomics reward a reasonably fit rider.
Character	Aggressive, revvy, and eager, with a screaming in-line four character that rewards an active, engaged riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders seeking a mellow first bike or for anyone prioritizing plush comfort and long-haul touring capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1999 Honda Hornet, 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.
