Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginners and new riders thanks to its light weight, modest power, and manageable single-cylinder character.
Purpose	A lightweight single aimed more at learning the ropes and light urban riding than genuine long-distance touring despite its category label.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light kerb weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A simple, air-cooled single-cylinder machine that rewards relaxed, low-stress riding rather than outright performance.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting high-speed highway cruising, serious touring range, or off-road capability.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1987 Yamaha SRX 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright 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.
