Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement V-twin cruiser is best suited to beginner and novice riders looking for an easygoing, low-stress introduction to motorcycling.
PurposeIt's designed as an entry-level cruiser for casual around-town riding rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and light 137kg dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt offers classic cruiser styling with a V-twin engine character at a modest, unintimidating pace with a top speed of just 120 km/h.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking highway touring capability, passenger comfort on long trips, or any kind of off-road or high-performance riding.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2009 Lifan Delta 250CC V Twin Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Lifan Delta 250CC V Twin, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
