Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or license-restricted riders thanks to its low power, light weight, and low seat height.
PurposeBest suited to relaxed cruiser-style commuting and short leisurely rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low 680mm seat height and light 145kg dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA friendly, unintimidating small-capacity cruiser that prioritizes style and easy handling over speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for experienced riders seeking strong acceleration, highway touring comfort, or off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Honda VT 125 Shadow, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
