Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners and newly licensed riders; approachable power and light weight also make it a fun, easy commuter for experienced riders.
PurposeUrban commuting and spirited backroad riding on a budget-friendly naked twin; a nimble, everyday A2-friendly street bike.
Rider FitLow 30.7in seat and slim 373lb chassis make it easy to manage; upright naked ergonomics with a fairly relaxed reach.
CharacterFriendly, playful and forgiving; the 321cc twin is smooth and eager without being intimidating, rewarding rider confidence.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway tourers, two-up long-haul trips, or riders chasing big-bore horsepower and outright top speed.

2009 Yamaha MT-03 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Yamaha MT-03, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
