Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer or returning riders thanks to its low power output, light weight feel, and simple, predictable single-cylinder character, though the kick starter and drum rear brake reward a bit of mechanical familiarity.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish custom-inspired urban runabout for relaxed rides, café-racer styling cruises, and short scenic jaunts rather than serious performance riding.
Rider FitA light, narrow, low-seat machine that is easy to flat-foot and maneuver at low speed, though the firm stock-style suspension and upright unpadded seating may tire riders on longer stints.
CharacterA charming, minimalist, retro-classic single with a thumping air-cooled soul, more about vibe and simplicity than outright speed or modern refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting highway-passing power, long-distance touring comfort, a passenger-friendly setup, or any off-road capability.

2015 Yamaha SR400 Homage By Benders Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha SR400 Homage By Benders, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
