Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners or riders returning to motorcycling after a long break, thanks to its low seat height, light weight, and mild single-cylinder power delivery.
PurposeIt's built as a simple, low-cost cruiser-style commuter for easy urban riding rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low 680mm seat height and 137kg dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically confident riders to handle and manage at a stop.
CharacterThe GZ 250 has a relaxed, unintimidating cruiser character with modest single-cylinder torque and a laid-back riding position rather than any sporty edge.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders seeking highway speed, off-road capability, or serious two-up touring comfort.

2003 Suzuki GZ 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2003 Suzuki GZ 250, 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.
