Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders, including younger or smaller riders, who are learning off-road fundamentals.
PurposeIt's built as a lightweight trail and enduro machine for casual dirt riding, trails, and skill-building rather than speed or distance.
Rider FitIts low dry weight, low seat height, and kick starter make it easy to handle and pick up, favoring smaller or lighter riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, forgiving, low-stress character with a small air-cooled single that rewards momentum and control over outright power.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or riders seeking strong acceleration.

2008 Yamaha TT-R125L Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Yamaha TT-R125L, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
