Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its fully automatic transmission and manageable power delivery.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a comfortable, practical maxi-scooter for commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and automatic clutch make it accessible to riders of varying size and strength, though its 218 kg weight requires some care at low speed.
CharacterA refined, easygoing urban cruiser that prioritizes smooth power delivery, weather protection, and everyday usability over sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking aggressive acceleration, off-road capability, or track-focused handling.

2012 Suzuki Skywave 250 Limited Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Suzuki Skywave 250 Limited, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
