Rider Profile

Best For	A great fit for beginner to early-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, low power output, and forgiving carbureted twin.
Purpose	Designed as an entry-level sport bike for commuting and learning sporty riding fundamentals rather than chasing top speed.
Rider Fit	The low 780mm seat height and light 152kg dry weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A friendly, approachable small-displacement sport bike with a sporty look but mild, predictable performance.
Not Ideal For	Not suitable for riders seeking serious highway touring comfort, high-speed thrills, or off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 250SL ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
