Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly machine, well suited to younger or novice riders learning off-road basics rather than experienced enduro racers.
PurposeBuilt as a small-displacement trail and learner bike for light off-road recreation, not for speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light, compact chassis make it accessible to smaller or lighter riders, including teens transitioning from smaller pit bikes.
CharacterA simple, forgiving air-cooled single with mild power delivery, favoring predictability and easy control over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting highway speeds, long touring range, passenger carrying, or aggressive technical off-road riding.

2005 Yamaha TT-R 125 L/le 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 2005 Yamaha TT-R 125 L/le, 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.
