Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a tall, torquey single-cylinder machine that demands active riding input.
Purpose	Built primarily as a supermoto-styled enduro for mixed on/off-road use, mixing light dirt capability with sharp street handling.
Rider Fit	The tall 875mm seat height and 165kg dry weight require reasonable rider height and confidence when standing or paddling at low speed.
Character	A gutsy, characterful big single that rewards momentum-based riding with strong low-end torque and agile, narrow handling.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, plush ride quality, or a smooth two-up passenger experience.

Units

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

Feet:

At 865mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2008 Yamaha XT660R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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.
