Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and learners. Its low power, light weight and forgiving nature make it easy to manage while building confidence in traffic.
PurposeA lightweight urban commuter and errand-runner with mild trail-friendly supermotard styling for tackling everyday city streets.
Rider FitTall 850mm seat with an upright, roomy stance on a very light 120kg frame. Airy and easy to flick, though the tall seat suits taller riders.
CharacterA cheerful, unintimidating little single-cylinder runabout. Frugal, nimble and honest rather than fast, happiest darting through town.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway travel, two-up touring, serious off-road, or riders wanting real speed and power.

1998 Honda NX 125 TC Trans City Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 1998 Honda NX 125 TC Trans City, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
