Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for beginners and utility riders alike thanks to its low power output and forgiving, easygoing nature.
Purpose	Built as a simple, rugged farm and light-duty off-road bike rather than a performance or highway machine.
Rider Fit	The tall 830mm seat height and narrow chassis demand reasonable leg length but the low 133kg weight makes it easy to muscle around.
Character	A no-frills, air-cooled workhorse that prioritizes durability, simplicity, and low-speed control over speed or refinement.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or passenger-friendly accommodations.

Units

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Kawasaki Stockman 250, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
