Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with some experience who want a capable middleweight without the intimidation of a hypersport machine.
PurposeBuilt primarily for touring and mixed road riding, blending a naked-standard chassis with light touring amenities like saddle bags and glove boxes.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable 220kg dry weight make it approachable for riders of average build and experience.
CharacterA practical, air-cooled twin with modest power delivery that favors relaxed, torquey road riding over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking track-level performance, off-road capability, or class-leading power output.

2017 WK 650TR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 WK 650TR, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright 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.
