Yamaha YZ65 vs Yamaha YZ80 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Yamaha YZ65 has a 754 mm seat; the Yamaha YZ80 sits at 800 mm — a 46 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 75 cm for the Yamaha YZ65 and 80 cm for the Yamaha YZ80.

That makes the Yamaha YZ65 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha YZ80 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
