Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an excellent bike for beginners and new riders thanks to its low weight, gentle power delivery, and easy manageability.
PurposeDesigned as a classic-styled single-cylinder naked bike for relaxed city commuting and learning to ride rather than performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, charming retro character with modest torque and a friendly, unintimidating single-cylinder engine note.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

1998 Suzuki TU 250 X Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1998 Suzuki TU 250 X, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
