Rider Profile

Best ForThis small-displacement V-twin cruiser is ideal for beginners or riders returning to biking after a long break.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising, learning the ropes, and easy commuting rather than speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA low seat height and light dry weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has classic cruiser looks and a mellow, torquey V-twin feel without the intimidation of a larger machine.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting highway-speed overtakes, aggressive cornering, or serious two-up touring.

2007 Yamaha Virago 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha Virago 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
