Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly small-bore trail bike, ideal for young or novice riders learning off-road basics rather than experienced riders seeking performance.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight recreational and learner enduro machine for trails, dirt paths, and light off-road exploration rather than speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low seat height and very light weight make it extremely accessible for smaller or less experienced riders to handle and pick up.
CharacterA simple, forgiving, low-stress small-displacement trail bike with modest power delivery and easygoing manners.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for highway use, adult touring, passenger carrying, or riders seeking speed and long-distance comfort.

2009 Yamaha TT-R125E 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 2009 Yamaha TT-R125E, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and an upright 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.
