Rider Profile

Best For	This is a learner-legal 50cc sportbike best suited to new riders or younger riders starting out on two wheels, likely restricted by moped/learner licensing rules in its home market.
Purpose	It's designed as an affordable, sporty-looking commuter for short urban trips rather than any kind of serious performance machine.
Rider Fit	Its very light weight and low seat height make it easy and unintimidating for smaller or less experienced riders to handle and paddle around.
Character	It mimics full-size sportbike styling and a six-speed gearbox in a tiny two-stroke package, giving a playful, revvy feel despite minimal outright power.
Not Ideal For	It's not for riders wanting real speed, highway touring capability, or the ability to carry a passenger any real distance.

Units

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 2008 Yamaha TZR 50, 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.
