Rider Profile

Best ForThis retro-styled 250cc scooter is easy enough for newer riders while still offering a bit of style for those upgrading from a smaller commuter.
PurposeIt's built primarily as a stylish urban commuter rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe 860mm seat height and 150kg dry weight make it manageable for most adult riders, including shorter ones.
CharacterIt has a classic cafe-racer inspired look paired with modern scooter practicality, appealing to riders who want retro flair without the complexity of a manual gearbox.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to riders seeking highway touring comfort, off-road capability, or spirited high-speed performance.

2008 Benelli Caffe Nero 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2008 Benelli Caffe Nero 250, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
