Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners and new riders. Its low power, light weight and easy semi-automatic clutch make it forgiving and simple to learn on.
PurposeA no-nonsense urban commuter and errand-runner. Built for cheap, reliable A-to-B transport, short daily hops and weaving through congested city traffic.
Rider FitVery light (~101kg) with a low 767mm seat and compact dimensions. Upright, relaxed ergonomics suit small-to-average riders; basic seat and suspension.
CharacterA humble, economical underbone cub. Utterly practical, frugal and unintimidating, prioritizing reliability and low running costs over any excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway travel, long-distance touring, spirited riders, tall riders wanting a big machine, or anyone chasing speed or off-road ability.

2013 Honda Wave 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 767mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Honda Wave 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
