Rider Profile

Best ForThis tiny supermotard is best suited to younger or novice riders, though its tall seat height and sharp handling reward those with some two-wheel confidence.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight, playful minimoto for flicking around tight urban streets, car parks, and small supermotard-style tracks rather than covering real distance.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight and narrow chassis make it easy to muscle around, but the 920mm seat height demands reasonable leg length for confident stops.
CharacterA cheeky, minimalist streetfighter-styled machine that trades outright speed for agility, novelty, and fun-per-mile in short bursts.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway commuting, long touring days, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking strong outright performance.

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

Feet:

At 920mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2005 Sherco 50 CC SM, with a stretched knee angle of around 180 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
