Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from beginner to intermediate who want a light, unintimidating machine to build off-road confidence on.
PurposeBuilt for trail riding, green-laning, and light dual-sport duty rather than speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe tall 830mm seat height and light 113kg dry weight make it easy to muscle around despite the reach to the ground for shorter riders.
CharacterA simple, air-cooled single-cylinder enduro that prioritizes low weight, ground clearance, and mechanical simplicity over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for riders wanting highway comfort, two-up touring, or strong acceleration.

2003 Kawasaki KL250-G7 Super Sherpa Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2003 Kawasaki KL250-G7 Super Sherpa, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
