Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a torquey, crossplane-derived inline-four and aggressive naked-bike ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and canyon carving, blending R1-derived engine character with an upright, naked-bike stance.
Rider FitRequires a moderately committed, slightly forward-leaning riding position with a fairly tall seat height, favoring taller or more athletic riders.
CharacterDelivers an aggressive, torque-rich, and vocal riding experience with sharp throttle response and a muscular, hooligan-leaning personality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use, new riders seeking a mellow first bike, or those prioritizing long-distance comfort and passenger accommodation.

2016 Yamaha MT-10 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha MT-10, 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.
