Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with a full motorcycle license comfortable with a big, heavy maxi-scooter, though the automatic transmission makes it approachable for less experienced riders too.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter for effortless commuting and light touring, blending car-like convenience with motorcycle agility.
Rider FitThe low seat height and automatic clutch make it easy for shorter or less physically strong riders to manage, despite its substantial dry weight.
CharacterA relaxed, practical machine that favors smooth, confident cruising over aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking off-road capability or track-level cornering performance.

2007 Yamaha Night Max Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha Night Max, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
