Does the Honda CL500 fit you?
The Honda CL500 (2023) has a 790 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 79 cm — roughly 168 cm (5'6") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 73 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Honda CL500.
Riding position
As a scrambler motorcycle, the Honda CL500 puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Honda CL500 best for?
The Honda CL500 is best suited to all-round road riding.
Braking & stopping distance
At 192 kg wet plus a rider, a hard stop from 100 km/h on dry tarmac takes roughly 39 m (about 1.00 g). Stopping distance is grip-limited, so it is set far more by tyres and road surface than by the bike or rider weight.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
