Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to riders who have graduated past beginner status and want a lively, torquey twin without the intimidation of a full-on sportbike.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile sport-touring middleweight, equally happy carving backroads, commuting, or handling light touring duty with its added saddle bags.
Rider FitThe 835mm seat height and 196kg wet weight make it manageable for most adult riders, though shorter riders should check inseam fit at a dealer.
CharacterThe CP2 twin delivers a punchy, characterful torque curve with a lively exhaust note, giving the bike a playful, engaging personality rather than outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability or long-distance highway cruising with maximum wind protection and plush comfort.

2018 Yamaha MT-07 TR 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 TR, 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.
