Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer riders and those upgrading from smaller bikes who want a genuine sportbike feel without intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt for spirited commuting and weekend canyon carving rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLight weight and a forward-leaning but not extreme riding position make it manageable for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA revvy, high-strung parallel-twin sportbike that rewards riders who like to keep the engine spinning to access its performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking big highway power, long-haul touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2023 Yamaha R25 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 2023 Yamaha R25, 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.
