Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners or anyone who simply wants stress-free, twist-and-go transport.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, commuting, and errand-running rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light 101 kg weight, and automatic transmission make it extremely easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA practical, economical, and unassuming little scooter that prioritizes efficiency and ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for highway touring, spirited cornering, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any rider seeking speed or off-road capability.

2021 Yamaha Delight 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Yamaha Delight 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
