Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least a couple of seasons of experience who want a torquey, easygoing all-rounder rather than a peaky sportbike.
PurposeBuilt as a versatile do-it-all machine, equally happy commuting, carving backroads, or loading up for a multi-day tour.
Rider FitThe 825mm seat height and moderate 223kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-height riders, though shorter riders may find reach to the ground a stretch.
CharacterA grounded, torque-rich parallel-twin allrounder with a Deltabox frame that rewards confident, relaxed cornering over outright aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing track-day lap times or serious off-road capability, as its road-biased tyres and modest ground clearance limit rough terrain use.

2002 Yamaha TDM 900 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 655mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Yamaha TDM 900, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
