It is a pity to see manufacturers not give a damn about taller riders in the naked and supersports segment. Every bike feels custom-made for 5'10" person, but if you are over 6ft, you have fixate on cruiser or adv and forget everything else.

[@JoeSam]

I understand your disappointment but look at the average height of a man in any particular region the product is targeted at. It would be somewhere between 5'8'' to 5'10'. But yes I see your point.

[@snehasishdev3296]

Indian every bike should have a seat height of 800mm to accomodate all riders

[@oldbot64]

Was waiting for the MT03. As a shorter rider, Im willing to pay extra to find the perfect fit but the price is just too much 😂

[@RohitRoy-ev4fp]

Don't even go for this shit. So much behind on technology.

[@RishabBanotra]

Yes!!! Exactly that is the ONLY reason i am not getting any of these Motorcycles.
Kindly don't think that it is because of that price tag .😅😅😅
Na not at all coz "Price to sahi he hai" 😂

Mt 15 review

[@garyd3725]

I’m 6’ and have been riding my MT 03 for 2 years and I don’t find it uncomfortable. Initially I was getting hamstring cramps but my last bike was a 1100 cc Yamaha cruiser so I had to get use to the change in peg position. Other than that it’s my favourite out of 3 Yamahas I’ve owned.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing your perspective Gary!

[@Butterfly_BOB]

My boy just flexed that he is 6ft 😏

[@metaversewr8827]

I was waiting for such a long time for the MT03 (2 years without a bike, just to get this one) and when it finally came out, it was such a huge disappointment, ridiculously expensive for a 300cc segment bike and it lags so heavily when it comes to features and technology
Trust me this will fail in India
Edit: I just went for the new duke 390 👍 and I'm loving it in everyway

[@firstnamelastname5761]

MT03 has 780mm seat height???
Is this correct information?

[@sachithranirmal8260]

Yes..

[@tombenny114]

I’ m 5.7 (170cm) will it be a problem for me

[@maxpoweroverdrive]

Can you recommend me some good middle weight bikes which aren't japanese?
I would like to explore something out of ordinary/common.
Budget is not an issue if the bike is great for what it does.
I mainly look for speed with ease but not in a racing posture...

Triumph Trident

[@user-qq5kv2oq6x]

There's trident, street triple 765rs, bmw f900r & tuono 660. There might be more options idk

[@dawgjee_356]

​@@shubhamthakur8530 Why spend on trident when you can save 2-3L and get the Street Triple, which is way better

[@maxpoweroverdrive]

@@shubhamthakur8530 I've been eying that... but I'm just looking for more options...

[@rahulap1930]

[@r.s9556]

I’ve heard this before and it’s a bit strange why Yamaha chose to design it that way.

[@motorinc]

🤷🏽‍♂️❤️

Who would buy a bike unridden?!?
