Rider FitThe very low 650mm seat height and automatic clutch make it extremely accessible for shorter riders or those wanting minimal physical effort.
CharacterA quirky, sci-fi styled machine that prioritizes relaxed, effortless riding and unique visual presence over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, high-speed thrills, or any off-road capability.

2018 Honda NM4 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 650mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Honda NM4, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
