Rider Profile

Best ForApproachable for newer riders thanks to manageable power and light weight, yet still engaging enough for experienced riders who enjoy sporty backroad rides.
PurposeA do-it-all sport-touring machine built for spirited cornering, commuting, and light long-distance travel rather than outright speed or off-road use.
Rider FitA low-ish 32.7 inch seat height and 417 lb wet weight make it manageable for most rider sizes, though the reach and lean angle favor a moderately fit rider.
CharacterPlayful, nimble, and torque-friendly, with sharp steering geometry and a punchy parallel-twin that rewards flowing, twisty roads.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting outright top-speed thrills, serious off-road capability, or a plush long-haul cruiser experience.

2021 Yamaha Tracer 7 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 7, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
