Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience, since its tall seat height and big single-cylinder torque reward confident handling.
PurposeIt's built as a rugged dual-purpose enduro machine aimed at mixed on-road and off-road adventure riding rather than outright speed.
Rider FitThe 860mm seat height and 195kg dry weight mean shorter or less physically strong riders may find low-speed maneuvering and tip-toe stops challenging.
CharacterIt has the character of a no-nonsense, torquey big-single trail bike that values simplicity, durability, and off-road capability over refinement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for riders wanting high top-end speed, plush touring comfort, or a comfortable two-up passenger experience.

2009 Jawa-CZ 650 Dakar Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2009 Jawa-CZ 650 Dakar, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
