Rider Profile

Best For	This is a friendly, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders returning to biking after a long break.
Purpose	It's built for relaxed cruiser-style commuting and short leisurely rides rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low 680mm seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	It has a classic small-capacity cruiser feel, with a laid-back V-twin character prioritizing style and easy handling over performance.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders wanting highway touring speed, two-up comfort over distance, or any off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Honda Shadow 125, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
