Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders gaining confidence as well as experienced riders who want a light, punchy, no-fuss naked bike.
PurposeBuilt primarily for fun, torquey street riding and twisty backroads rather than outright top speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLow seat height and light weight make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders, with an upright, relaxed riding position.
CharacterA characterful, torque-rich twin with a playful, engaging feel that rewards spirited throttle use over highway cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot the best choice for riders wanting serious high-speed touring comfort, wind protection, or any real off-road capability.

2018 Yamaha MT-07 HO 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 2018 Yamaha MT-07 HO, 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.
