Rider Profile

Best For	This is a small-wheeled competition motocrosser built specifically for younger or smaller, developing riders, not adults or beginners to motorcycling in general.
Purpose	Designed purely for amateur motocross racing and off-road training on tracks scaled to junior riders.
Rider Fit	Its tiny 66 kg dry weight and low-for-motocross seat height suit lighter, smaller riders such as pre-teens and young teenagers rather than full-sized adults.
Character	A high-strung, free-revving two-stroke that rewards aggressive clutch and throttle work with sharp, flickable handling on rough terrain.
Not Ideal For	This is not suitable for adult commuting, highway travel, two-up riding, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or long-distance capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 864mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2003 Yamaha YZ 85, 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.
