Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an accessible machine well suited to new and intermediate riders thanks to its light weight and manageable power delivery, though its manual-style 6-speed gearbox and sporty geometry reward those with some prior riding experience.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a nimble, performance-oriented commuter scooter for weaving through city traffic with a sportier riding feel than a typical automatic scooter.
Rider FitThe low 121 kg weight and 795 mm seat height make it easy to handle for riders of average or smaller stature, with minimal physical strain during stop-and-go city riding.
CharacterIt has a sporty, engaged personality with sharp handling and a manual-shift feel that sets it apart from typical scooters, appealing to riders who want more involvement in the ride.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, off-road capability, or high-speed highway cruising.

2022 Yamaha Sniper 155R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 Yamaha Sniper 155R, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
