Rider Profile

Best ForGreat for newer and intermediate riders thanks to its tractable torque and light weight, yet the punchy CP2 twin keeps experienced riders entertained too.
PurposeA do-it-all naked roadster built for commuting, canyon carving and spirited weekend rides. Fun-first street bike that thrives on twisty paved backroads.
Rider FitSlim, light 403 lb wet with a manageable 31.7 in seat and upright bars. Neutral, roomy ergonomics that suit a wide range of riders.
CharacterPlayful, torquey and eager. The characterful crossplane twin gives strong low-end grunt and a lively, flickable personality that makes every ride engaging.
Not Ideal ForNot for off-road use, long-haul touring with full luggage, or riders wanting top-end superbike speed or extensive wind protection.

2017 Yamaha MT-07 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 2017 Yamaha MT-07, 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.
