Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an approachable, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders returning after time away.
PurposeIt is best suited to light commuting, easy trail exploring, and general utility riding rather than serious performance use.
Rider FitIts modest seat height and light overall weight make it manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, low-stress, workhorse personality rather than a sporty or thrilling one.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or aggressive off-road capability.

2012 Kawasaki 250 TR 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 2012 Kawasaki 250 TR, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
