Rider Profile

Best ForBeginner-friendly dual-sport. Light, forgiving and easy to manage, great for newer riders learning both on- and off-road skills, yet fun enough for experienced trail commuters.
PurposeA do-it-all lightweight enduro/dual-sport for green lanes, dirt trails, and everyday tarmac commuting. Happiest bridging city streets and off-road tracks.
Rider FitTall 855mm seat and 275mm ground clearance suit taller riders; slim, upright and airy at just 130kg wet. Long-travel front fork, 21in front wheel, kick-start only.
CharacterA simple, honest air-cooled thumper. Low-stress 27hp single that's cheerful, dependable and unintimidating - light on its feet rather than fast.
Not Ideal ForNot for highway tourers, two-up travel, or riders chasing speed. Short-legged riders will struggle with the seat height; no electric start.

2000 Yamaha XT 350 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 855mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2000 Yamaha XT 350, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
