Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders with at least some experience, particularly those new to tall, single-cylinder adventure bikes who are comfortable with a high seat height and off-road-biased handling.
Purpose	Built primarily for long-distance off-road adventure and dual-sport travel rather than outright speed or cornering performance.
Rider Fit	The tall 865mm seat height and 201kg weight demand reasonable rider height and confidence handling a top-heavy bike at low speeds or off-road.
Character	A rugged, torquey single-cylinder workhorse that rewards patient, momentum-based riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp sport-bike acceleration, low seat height, or nimble city commuting.

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 1999 Yamaha XTZ 660 Tenere, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
