Rider Profile

Best ForThis is best suited to a beginner or casual rider who wants a low, laid-back chopper look without needing serious power or performance.
PurposeIt's built primarily for cruising and making a style statement rather than for speed, distance, or off-road capability.
Rider FitThe very low 660mm seat height and stretched, raked-out chopper stance make it easy to flat-foot and manage at low speed despite the extended wheelbase feel.
CharacterIt has the exaggerated, wide-tired custom chopper aesthetic with a small single-cylinder engine underneath, prioritizing look over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for highway touring, spirited cornering, off-road use, or riders seeking strong acceleration and top speed.

2016 DF Motor 250 Bubba Chopper Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 DF Motor 250 Bubba Chopper, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
