Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners, new riders, or anyone wanting a low-stakes, low-intimidation introduction to motorcycling.
PurposeBuilt purely for fun, minibike-style urban commuting and playful low-speed riding rather than any kind of serious distance or performance work.
Rider FitIts tiny 102 kg weight and low 805 mm seat height make it extremely easy to handle, flat-foot, and maneuver for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA cheeky, grinning little streetfighter-styled minibike that thrives on tight city streets, alleyways, and parking-lot antics rather than open roads.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking real straight-line speed or power.

2018 Kawasaki Z125 Pro SE 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 2018 Kawasaki Z125 Pro SE, 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.
