Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, forgiving machine well suited to beginners or riders returning to biking after a break.
PurposeDespite being labeled a sport model, its small single-cylinder engine and light weight make it best suited to relaxed street riding rather than genuine sporty performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or smaller-statured riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, unintimidating character with modest power delivery and easy low-speed handling.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for riders seeking high-speed thrills, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Suzuki ST 250 Etype, 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.
