Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for new or casual riders who want simple, low-stakes transportation without dealing with gears or high power.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting, errands, and weaving through city traffic rather than performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low seat height make it easy to manage for riders of small stature or limited strength, including most teenagers and smaller adults.
CharacterA practical, unpretentious little automatic scooter that prioritizes convenience, fuel economy, and easy handling over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a heavy passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real acceleration or power.

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha Ray ZR, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
