Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders progressing beyond a beginner bike as well as experienced riders wanting a light, torquey naked for daily fun.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a nimble, punchy naked roadster for city riding, twisty backroads, and spirited commuting rather than outright top-speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLow 805 mm seat height and a light 184 kg curb weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterPlayful, torque-rich, and low-maintenance in feel, rewarding an aggressive throttle hand with an eager crossplane-style twin engine character.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, high-speed touring comfort, or long-haul two-up cruising.

2020 Yamaha MT-07HO 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 2020 Yamaha MT-07HO, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
