Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginners and returning riders thanks to its low power delivery, light weight, and simple, forgiving nature.
Purpose	Built as a classic, minimalist standard motorcycle for relaxed street riding rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height, slim frame, and light overall weight make it accessible to riders of shorter stature or smaller build.
Character	A charming, retro-styled single-cylinder machine that rewards a relaxed, mechanical, kick-start riding experience over speed or technology.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting highway touring comfort, two-up passenger performance, or any genuine off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2005 Yamaha SR 400, 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.
