Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike is best suited to beginners or riders looking for a light, unintimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's designed primarily as an affordable, easy-to-live-with commuter and learner naked bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterThe small single-cylinder engine gives modest, predictable power delivery that favors smooth, relaxed riding over aggressive acceleration.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed touring, serious off-road capability, or two-up long-distance comfort.

2012 Veli VL200GS-2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 Veli VL200GS-2, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
