Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from confident beginners moving up to intermediate and experienced riders, thanks to its light weight, manageable power, and forgiving twin-cylinder delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a fun, punchy street and commuter naked bike with strong midrange torque for quick city overtakes and playful backroad riding.
Rider FitThe low 805mm seat height and light 179kg wet weight make it very accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders to handle at a stop and in traffic.
CharacterOffers a characterful, torquey CP2 twin engine feel paired with agile, flickable handling that rewards an energetic, engaged riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot the best choice for dedicated long-distance touring or off-road use, as it lacks wind protection, luggage capacity, and off-road suspension travel.

2017 Yamaha MT-07 Moto Cage 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 Moto Cage, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
