Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a torquey, high-revving triple with a lively front end.
Purpose	Built for spirited street riding, canyon carving, and weekend sport-oriented fun rather than long-distance hauling.
Rider Fit	The tall 825mm seat height and light 194kg wet weight favor riders of average to above-average height who want an agile, manageable machine.
Character	A punchy, characterful naked bike with premium Ohlins and KYB suspension that rewards an aggressive, engaged riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking plush all-day touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any off-road capability.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2026 Yamaha MT 09 SP, 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.
