Character	It has classic V-twin cruiser styling with a low-revving, laid-back power delivery rather than aggressive performance.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for riders wanting highway-speed touring, aggressive cornering, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 670mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha DragStar 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
