Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginners and riders wanting a small, unintimidating V-twin cruiser to build confidence on.
PurposeDesigned for relaxed, low-speed cruising and casual street riding rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or lighter riders.
CharacterA charming small-displacement cruiser that trades power for style, sound, and easy low-speed handling.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking highway-speed touring capability, aggressive cornering performance, or off-road use.

2002 Honda Magna 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 690mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Honda Magna 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
