Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders with at least some scooter or automatic-transmission experience, thanks to its substantial size and weight compared to typical scooters.
Purpose	Designed as a maxi-scooter that blends effortless automatic commuting with enough power and stability for longer rides and highway use.
Rider Fit	The low seat height makes it approachable, but its weight and length mean shorter or less experienced riders may find slow-speed maneuvers and parking a bit demanding.
Character	A confident, torquey maxi-scooter that feels more like a small motorcycle than a typical runabout, offering smooth twin-cylinder power delivery and stable road manners.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability, sporty track performance, or a lightweight, nimble city runabout.

Units

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha Black Max, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. 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.
