The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CL125 has a 737 mm seat; the Honda CL160 Scrambler sits at 760 mm — a 23 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 74 cm for the Honda CL125 and 76 cm for the Honda CL160 Scrambler.

That makes the Honda CL125 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CL160 Scrambler gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
