Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a small-wheeled competition motocrosser built for younger or lighter riders who are already competent on dirt bikes, not for absolute beginners unfamiliar with clutch and gear control.
PurposeIt exists purely for motocross track riding and racing, designed to develop young racers moving up from mini bikes toward full-size 125/250 class machines.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light dry weight, and compact dimensions suit smaller or lighter riders, typically youths, rather than full-sized adults.
CharacterIt has the sharp, high-revving, punchy character typical of a small two-stroke racer, rewarding aggressive riding and precise gear selection over raw power.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for street use, commuting, touring, carrying passengers, or riders seeking comfort and low maintenance.

2006 Suzuki RM 85 L Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 325mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Suzuki RM 85 L, with a cramped knee angle of around 25 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.
