Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, forgiving machine well suited to newer riders or those stepping up from smaller commuter bikes.
PurposeBest suited for daily commuting and light city riding rather than performance-oriented sport use despite its category label.
Rider FitA low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to manage for riders of shorter stature or smaller build.
CharacterIt has a relaxed, single-cylinder personality that favors smooth, low-effort riding over aggressive acceleration.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed thrills, serious cornering performance, or long-distance highway touring comfort.

2011 Yamaha YBR250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha YBR250, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
