Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a forgiving, low-power single-cylinder machine well suited to beginners or riders returning to biking after time away.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight classic-style commuter for easy, relaxed street riding rather than performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA charming, simple retro-styled single that emphasizes ease of use and old-school mechanical simplicity over speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed thrills, or off-road capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1997 Suzuki TU 250 XV, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
