Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specifications provided are actually for the Yamaha XSR125 Legacy, not the XMAX 125 scooter named in the request, so this profile reflects that small retro-styled motorcycle instead; it suits new and beginner riders comfortably thanks to its lig
PurposeBest suited as a lightweight, characterful city and commuter bike with retro scrambler styling rather than a high-speed or long-distance machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and low 140 kg weight make it very approachable for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and paddle around at low speed.
CharacterA charming small-capacity retro roadster that trades outright performance for style, easy manners, and everyday usability.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking strong highway overtaking power, serious touring range, or genuine off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Yamaha XMAX 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
