Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, as the punchy triple and light chassis reward confident throttle control.
PurposeBuilt for spirited street riding, twisty backroads, and quick city commuting rather than long-distance hauling or off-road use.
Rider FitA manageable 425 lb wet weight and moderate 32.5 inch seat height make it accessible to a wide range of rider sizes, though the seat height may challenge shorter riders.
CharacterAn aggressive, torque-rich naked bike with sharp handling and a characterful inline-triple exhaust note that encourages playful, energetic riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal choice for riders seeking plush long-haul touring comfort, wind protection, or any serious off-road capability.

2025 Yamaha MT-09 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2025 Yamaha MT-09, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
