Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or anyone who simply wants twist-and-go simplicity without worrying about gears.
PurposeBuilt purely for short hops around town, errands, and easy urban commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it extremely easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength to handle.
CharacterA cheerful, no-fuss little runabout that prioritizes convenience, low running costs, and effortless maneuverability in traffic.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any off-road use.

2006 Honda Metropolitan II Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 711mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Honda Metropolitan II, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
