Character	A humble, dependable, economical little single that just gets on with the daily grind without fuss or drama.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting highway pace, spirited performance, two-up touring or serious off-road use.

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Honda CB125F, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
