Question

What would be the minimum height requirment for a 250cc four stroke dirt bike?

Answer 1

My son is 5ft6 and he races one and would be considered small for doing so.  He has to use starting blocks to be able to touch the ground on the start line.  He manages the bike very well but I would not like him to be any shorter on it.

Answer 2

there is no real min height requirement. It all depends on what you plan on doing with it (MX or trails) and what experience you have.  Obvioulsy a kid who has raced bikes before and plans on riding it in MX  will have a Much easier time than a beginner planning on using it for trails.

Answer 3

I'm about 5'9" and I cannot touch flat footed. I have been racing motocross since I was a kid so being on tall bikes feels normal to me. I would say if you are 5'8" or better you'll have no issue. If you are shorter than that you will get used to it, but it may take a little time. Less than 5'6" and you won't even be able to kick start it.

Answer 4

at least 5-6 or 5-7

Answer 5

There isn't really a minimum requirement. You just have to be able to handle the huge bike. I am about 5' 6" and can barely touch the ground sitting on a 250.

You just have to be comfortable with riding it.
