Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can make confident use of a lively, high-revving triple with a sharp power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a premium, sport-focused naked roadster for spirited road riding and twisty backroads rather than long-distance or off-road use.
Rider FitThe low, compact seat height and light 195 kg weight make it manageable for most body sizes, though the firm sporty saddle and stretch to the bars favor a more athletic riding position over long stints.
CharacterA characterful, torquey crossplane triple wrapped in retro styling that rewards an engaged, sporty riding style with sharp handling and strong midrange punch.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a plush touring companion, pillion comfort, or any genuine off-road capability.

2021 Yamaha XSR900SP Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2021 Yamaha XSR900SP, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
