Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its light weight and manageable single-cylinder power delivery, note the SF variant uses supermoto-style 17 inch wheels and street tires rather than true off-road knobbies.
Purpose	Designed as a lightweight supermoto-style street bike built on an off-road-derived platform, best for nimble urban riding and twisty backroads rather than long-distance touring or true dirt use.
Rider Fit	Its low weight and accessible seat height for the class make it easy to handle for smaller or less experienced riders, though the 861mm seat height is still moderately tall.
Character	A fun, flickable small-displacement single that rewards revving and playful riding over outright speed.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting highway-oriented touring comfort, high-speed performance, or serious off-road capability given its street tire setup.

Units

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

Feet:

At 861mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250 SF, 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.
