Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an approachable lightweight sportbike well suited to new and beginner-to-intermediate riders building confidence.
PurposeIt's designed for fun, nimble sport riding around town and on twisty backroads rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to manage for riders of smaller stature or those new to bigger machines.
CharacterIt has a playful, eager small-twin sportbike character with sharp styling borrowed from the MotoGP Monster Energy livery.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking high-speed highway touring, serious passenger comfort, or off-road capability.

2020 Yamaha Monster Energy Yamaha Motogp Edition YZF-R3 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2020 Yamaha Monster Energy Yamaha Motogp Edition YZF-R3, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
