Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who want a lively, characterful triple that rewards confident throttle inputs.
PurposeBuilt for spirited backroad riding, canyon carving, and urban commuting rather than long-haul touring or off-road use.
Rider FitThe low 425 lb wet weight and moderate 31.9 inch seat height make it manageable for riders of average build and shorter inseams.
CharacterA punchy, torque-rich inline-triple with a raw, retro-styled naked bike attitude that feels eager and engaging at any speed.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking wind protection, plush long-distance comfort, or genuine off-road capability.

2019 Yamaha XSR900 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 2019 Yamaha XSR900, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
