Does the Yamaha YZ250 fit you?
The Yamaha YZ250 (1988–1988) has a 950 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 95 cm — roughly 202 cm (6'8") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 89 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Yamaha YZ250.
Riding position
As a motocross motorcycle, the Yamaha YZ250 puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Yamaha YZ250 best for?
The Yamaha YZ250 is best suited to all-round road riding.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
