Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for beginners and newly licensed riders; forgiving power delivery and light weight make it a superb first sportbike while still fun for experienced commuters.
Purpose	Lightweight entry-level sport commuter for city riding, twisty backroads and learning cornering skills, with occasional short-highway ability.
Rider Fit	Low 775mm seat, narrow build and 374 lb wet weight make it easy to manage. Mild sporty crouch is comfortable for most; roomy 4.8-gal tank aids range.
Character	Friendly, revvy little parallel-twin with sporty styling. Approachable, economical and confidence-inspiring rather than fast, but eager and flickable.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders craving big power, sustained high-speed highway cruising, two-up loaded touring, or any off-road use.

Units

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 Ninja 250R, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
