Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to new and early-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, manageable power delivery, and confidence-inspiring chassis.
Purpose	Designed primarily as a nimble, affordable urban commuter and learner-friendly naked bike with enough sportiness for weekend fun.
Rider Fit	The low 780mm seat height and slim 165kg mass make it accessible to shorter or less physically strong riders.
Character	A rev-happy, high-strung parallel twin character that rewards keeping the engine spinning near its 12,000 RPM power peak.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting serious highway touring range, passenger comfort, or any off-road capability.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Yamaha MT-25, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
