Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginner to intermediate riders who want a light, forgiving machine to build off-road skills.
PurposeIt's built for trail riding and light enduro use rather than speed or highway travel.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and dirt-bike ergonomics favor riders of average to taller height who don't mind an upright, off-road stance.
CharacterIt's a nimble, low-stress air-cooled trail bike that rewards momentum and finesse over outright power.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders wanting sustained highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or a passenger-friendly ride.

2005 Yamaha TT-R 225 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 869mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2005 Yamaha TT-R 225, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
