Storm 250 seat height
Hi guys i really would like to buy a Bashan Storm 250 but Iam getting mixed info on the seat height? Most are saying there seat height is 29" while others are saying about 34" seat height? I see the same in the ads for this bike most 29" a few 34"? Are there two models running around? I would buy this bike today if i could buy one with a seat height of 34". On a side note do the owners of Storms think I could some how raise the height from 29" to 34"? The next best choice would be a TT250 but at over $1000 more and the same engine I dont see paying that much more for sooo little more bike. I could really use some help guys. Thanks. :hmm:

What are the rim sizes?

Could the height different be due to a combo of wheel height and a longer shock in the back? I could really use some help here guys. After saving for three years it looks like it will take another three years to find a bike that will work for me. That is if I ever get my money back from getting ripped? >:(

Merlin...my bike (see signature) is virtually the same bike as the bashan storm. By placing a level on the lowest part of my seat, tilting the bike to level position, and measuring from the floor to the bottom of that level, it measures exactly 33 inches. This measurement is with no weight on bike. With my boots,sitting on the bike, I am flat footed . I think I am 5.11 or 6.0. It is perfect and is high riding position as are all Duel Sport/Enduro’s An inch or two in either direction will make no difference.
Considering your bad luck and your concerns with the specifications, I suggest that you find a dealer with a stock item so that you will know exactly what you are buying. Just my 2 Euros. :tup: |
give me a few minutes and i will go check my bike, i just got home from a 12 hour shift ... i can tell you that at 5'9" i can not even get close to flat foot on the bike

i can tell you for sure it is well over 29" at the seat though ...EDIT: just went out and checked ... 34" for the seat and it has 17" and 19" wheels if you needed to know that as well

Here is a link (not sure about the dealer?): https://www.txpowersports.com/SSR_XF...le_p/xf250.htm |
your elevation range isn't too great, you should be fine with a Storm or Hawk.
