Rider Profile

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

2014 Yamaha SR 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2014 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.
