Best for
A do-it-all lightweight enduro/dual-sport for green lanes, dirt trails, and everyday tarmac commuting. Happiest bridging city streets and off-road tracks.
Built for
A simple, honest air-cooled thumper. Low-stress 27hp single that's cheerful, dependable and unintimidating - light on its feet rather than fast.
Not ideal for
Not for highway tourers, two-up travel, or riders chasing speed. Short-legged riders will struggle with the seat height; no electric start.

At 855mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 1989 Yamaha XT 350, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
