Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience, as the punchy triple engine and sharp chassis reward confident throttle control.
PurposeIt's built as a versatile sport-tourer that blends the MT-09's lively naked-bike character with added wind protection and light touring capability.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height and manageable 214 kg curb weight make it accessible to a wide range of rider sizes, though the firm ergonomics favor an upright, active riding position.
CharacterExpect an energetic, torque-rich in-line three that loves quick direction changes and spirited backroad riding more than long, relaxed highway cruising.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or a plush, long-distance cruiser experience.

2020 Yamaha MT09TR 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 2020 Yamaha MT09TR, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
