Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a tall, heavy adventure bike at low speeds and off-road.
PurposeBuilt as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle gravel and dirt roads while still covering serious highway miles in comfort.
Rider FitThe tall 846mm seat height and 260kg wet weight demand decent rider height, strength, and confidence when maneuvering at a standstill or on loose terrain.
CharacterA steady, torquey shaft-driven twin with a rugged, go-anywhere character rather than outright sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or track-day cornering thrills.

2014 Yamaha Super Tenere Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 848mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2014 Yamaha Super Tenere, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
