Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to early-intermediate riders who want a light, forgiving sportbike to build skills on.
PurposeIt's built for commuting and playful weekend rides where nimble handling matters more than outright speed.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a peppy, high-revving parallel twin that rewards keeping the throttle pinned near redline for its modest but eager power delivery.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking highway-crushing speed, long-distance touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2014 Kawasaki Ninja 250 ABS Special Edition 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 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 250 ABS Special Edition, 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.
