Rider FitLight 134kg wet, upright step-through ergonomics, flat floorboard and 16-inch wheels; comfortable for average riders, roomy for one but tight for two.
CharacterA refined, frugal, no-fuss city scooter-smooth eSP+ single, keyless start, traction control and ABS wrapped in tidy Honda build quality.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway cruising, long-distance touring, spirited canyon carving or anyone wanting real speed and power.

2012 Honda SH125I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda SH125I, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
