Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from intermediate to advanced who want a genuinely capable offroad tool rather than a beginner commuter.
PurposeBuilt primarily for technical trail riding and enduro use, with enough refinement to double as a light dual-sport runabout.
Rider FitTall 930mm seat height and narrow, lightweight chassis favor riders who are reasonably fit and comfortable standing on pegs, though the low weight makes it manageable for shorter riders too.
CharacterA nimble, high-revving single-cylinder machine that rewards active riding, precise inputs, and a willingness to stand up and attack rough terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking high top-speed highway cruising, plush two-up touring comfort, or a low-effort, low-seat commuter experience.

2009 Yamaha WR250R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 930mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2009 Yamaha WR250R, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
