Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, since the punchy triple engine and light chassis reward confident throttle control.
PurposeThis GT-touring variant of the MT-09 blends sporty naked-bike agility with added long-distance comfort features like side cases for light touring duty.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 227kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-height riders, though the tall stance may challenge shorter riders at a stop.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, torque-rich personality with sharp handling and an eager, high-revving three-cylinder engine that loves being pushed through corners.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders seeking a plush, long-haul touring cruiser or anyone wanting genuine off-road capability.

2020 Yamaha MT09TR GT 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 GT, 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.
