Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low seat feel, and forgiving power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a lightweight dual-sport/enduro machine for trails, dirt roads, and light urban commuting rather than outright speed.
Rider FitIts low dry weight and slim chassis make it easy to manage for riders of average or smaller stature, including standing on the pegs off-road.
CharacterA nimble, simple, air-cooled single-purpose trail bike that rewards momentum and finesse over raw horsepower.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, two-up touring comfort, or track-day performance.

2006 Honda XR 250 Tornado Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Honda XR 250 Tornado, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
