Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or entry-level riders who want a genuinely easy, non-intimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeBuilt for short urban hops, playful commuting, and mini-bike fun rather than any serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 102 kg mass and low seat height make it extremely manageable for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA cheeky, minibike-styled naked that thrives on low-speed agility, tight turns, and pure grin-inducing novelty rather than outright pace.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, two-up riding, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking real power or speed.

2017 Kawasaki Z125 Pro KRT Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Kawasaki Z125 Pro KRT Edition, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
