Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement custom cruiser suits beginner to intermediate riders who want an easy, low-key introduction to cruiser styling and low-speed handling.
PurposeIt's built primarily for relaxed cruising and casual around-town riding rather than outright speed or serious distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and modest dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle at a stop and in low-speed maneuvers.
CharacterIt has the laid-back, low-revving twin-cylinder cruiser feel with classic custom styling rather than sporty urgency.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking highway-passing power, long-haul touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2009 CSR Custom 250 Twin Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 560mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 CSR Custom 250 Twin, with a cramped knee angle of around 60 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
