Rider FitIts light dry weight and low seat height make it easy to handle for riders of smaller stature or those new to two wheels.
CharacterIt has a friendly, unintimidating personality focused on convenience and easy maneuverability in traffic.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suited to highway touring, carrying a passenger over distance, or anyone seeking real speed or power.

1997 Yamaha XC 125 TR Cygnus R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 755mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1997 Yamaha XC 125 TR Cygnus R, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
