Best for
It's best suited to commuting, trail exploration, and general dual-sport fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Built for
It has the personality of a nimble, playful trail companion, happiest picking through tight streets or unpaved paths rather than chasing top speed.
Not ideal for
It's not for riders seeking high-speed highway cruising, heavy touring capability, or carrying a passenger in comfort.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 930mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2016 Yamaha WR125R, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 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.
