Rider Profile

Best For	A great fit for new to intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, manageable power, and forgiving handling.
Purpose	Designed for sporty commuting and weekend backroad fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light 167 kg weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
Character	A revvy, high-strung small-capacity twin that rewards keeping it in the higher RPM range for its best performance.
Not Ideal For	Not suited for riders wanting high-speed highway cruising, heavy touring loads, or off-road capability.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha YZF-R25, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
