Rider Profile

Best ForThis lightweight, low-power supermotard-style bike suits beginner to intermediate riders who want a fun, unintimidating machine to build skills on.
PurposeIt's built for playful urban riding and light trail excursions rather than outright speed or distance covering.
Rider FitThe tall-ish seat height paired with a very light dry weight makes it manageable for most body types, though shorter riders may need to adjust to the supermoto stance.
CharacterA nimble, flickable single-cylinder machine with a fun, go-kart-like personality that rewards playful riding over highway cruising.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited for riders wanting sustained high-speed touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or serious off-road adventure riding.

2006 Yamaha Tricker Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha Tricker, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
