Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a learner-legal 50cc moped-class machine, ideal for young or novice riders starting out, typically restricted by age and license class in most markets.
PurposeBuilt as an entry-level sporty commuter, mimicking full-size sportbike styling while offering minimal, city-friendly performance.
Rider FitVery light and low, with a compact seat height and short wheelbase, it suits smaller and lighter riders including teenagers without demanding strength or reach.
CharacterIt has sharp, toy-like sportbike looks with a two-stroke buzz and eagerness to be revved, but performance is modest by nature of its tiny engine.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders wanting real highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, passenger carrying, or any off-road capability.

2009 Yamaha TZR50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Yamaha TZR50, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
