Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who enjoy a light, flickable single that rewards aggressive throttle and brake inputs.
PurposeBuilt for sharp cornering, tight twisty roads, and urban blasts rather than long-distance travel or off-road work despite its dual-sport-derived chassis.
Rider FitThe tall 875mm seat height and narrow, upright ergonomics suit taller or more confident riders comfortable with a bike that feels lanky at a standstill.
CharacterA punchy, torquey single-cylinder supermoto that trades outright top speed for razor-sharp handling and playful, wheelie-friendly character.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or serious off-road capability.

2006 Yamaha XT 660 R Supermotard Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2006 Yamaha XT 660 R Supermotard, 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.
