Rider Profile

Best For	This is a very approachable machine well suited to beginners or riders returning after a long break.
Purpose	It's built for relaxed cruiser-style riding around town and on easy backroads rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and light overall weight make it easy for shorter or less experienced riders to manage confidently.
Character	It has a laid-back, unintimidating cruiser character with modest single-cylinder power delivered smoothly and predictably.
Not Ideal For	It's not for riders seeking highway speed, aggressive cornering, off-road capability, or two-up long-distance touring.

Units

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

Feet:

At 680mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Suzuki GZ250, 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.
