Rider Profile

Best For	Ideal for beginners and newly licensed riders; approachable power and light weight also make it a fun, easy commuter for experienced riders.
Purpose	Urban commuting and spirited backroad riding on a budget-friendly naked twin; a nimble, everyday A2-friendly street bike.
Rider Fit	Low 30.7in seat and slim 373lb chassis make it easy to manage; upright naked ergonomics with a fairly relaxed reach.
Character	Friendly, playful and forgiving; the 321cc twin is smooth and eager without being intimidating, rewarding rider confidence.
Not Ideal For	Not for highway tourers, two-up long-haul trips, or riders chasing big-bore horsepower and outright top speed.

Units

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Yamaha MT-03, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
