Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners and casual riders who want a light, unintimidating machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's designed as a simple, low-cost commuter and light street-cruiser with a retro scrambler-style look rather than a serious off-roader.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a relaxed, easygoing personality with modest performance, air-cooled simplicity, and classic styling cues.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders seeking highway speed, serious off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort.

2011 Kawasaki 250TR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Kawasaki 250TR, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
