Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a punchy triple-cylinder engine with real sport-touring performance.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile sport-tourer that blends fast, engaging backroad riding with the comfort needed for long-distance travel.
Rider FitA moderate 850mm seat height and manageable 214kg wet weight make it accessible to most average-height riders without being intimidating.
CharacterDelivers a lively, torquey in-line three engine character with sharp handling from its lightweight chassis and inverted forks, rewarding a confident, spirited riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road enthusiasts or new riders seeking a low-power, low-maintenance first bike, since its sporting road-focused nature and power output demand more skill and offer little off-pavement capability.

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2020 Yamaha Tracer 900, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
