Rider Profile

Best For	This is a pure racing homologation machine intended strictly for expert-level and professional racers, not road riders of any experience level.
Purpose	Built exclusively for closed-circuit road racing, with a screaming two-stroke V2 and featherweight chassis designed to win on the track, not to be ridden on public roads.
Rider Fit	Demands a fit, race-trained rider comfortable with an extreme forward-leaning crouch, high footpegs, and no concessions to ergonomic comfort.
Character	Raw, explosive, and razor-sharp, this machine rewards aggressive precise inputs with blistering acceleration and telepathic cornering ability.
Not Ideal For	This is not for commuting, touring, carrying passengers, casual riding, or anyone without genuine racetrack experience and a support crew for a temperamental two-stroke race engine.

Units

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

Feet:

At 773mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Yamaha TZ 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
