Honda CR250R vs Yamaha YZ125 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CR250R has a 942 mm seat; the Yamaha YZ125 sits at 935 mm — a 7 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 94 cm for the Honda CR250R and 94 cm for the Yamaha YZ125.

That makes the Yamaha YZ125 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CR250R gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
