Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a punchy, torquey triple with a light chassis and sharp throttle response.
PurposeIt's built for spirited street riding and twisty backroads, blending naked-bike aggression with a scrambler-inspired stance for light adventure-styled fun on pavement.
Rider FitThe 190kg wet weight and 850mm seat height make it manageable for most rider sizes, with an upright, active riding position that favors shorter commutes over long hauls.
CharacterExpect a raw, characterful in-line triple soundtrack paired with immediate low-to-mid range punch and agile, flickable handling.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking plush long-distance comfort, serious off-road capability, or a passenger-friendly touring companion.

2015 Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2015 Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
