Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for new riders or commuters who want simple, low-stress transportation with minimal mechanical complexity.
PurposeIt's built for short urban and suburban trips, errands, and light commuting rather than performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light weight, and small dimensions make it extremely easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA humble, practical little commuter that prioritizes fuel efficiency, ease of use, and reliability over excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for highway touring, spirited cornering, off-road use, or carrying a passenger any real distance.

2018 Yamaha Sight Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Yamaha Sight, 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.
