Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, manageable twin without the intensity of a full sportbike.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile allround machine that handles commuting, spirited backroad riding, and light touring equally well.
Rider FitA moderate 825mm seat height and 223kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-to-tall riders, though shorter riders may find it a stretch.
CharacterThe big-bore parallel twin delivers strong, usable midrange torque with a characterful engine note, favoring real-world grunt over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking off-road capability or those wanting razor-sharp track-focused performance.

2010 Yamaha TDM 900A Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Yamaha TDM 900A, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
