Overview
The Yamaha Tricker is a dual-sport motorcycle produced from 2006 to 2015. The 2015 model uses a 249.0 cm³, air-cooled, four-stroke single producing 19 hp (14 kW) and 18.8 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, with a dry weight of 118 kg.
Its 790 mm seat height and 118 kg dry weight make it relatively easy to manage at low speeds, while 270 mm of ground clearance and 180 mm front and 172 mm rear wheel travel suit uneven surfaces. The 6.00-liter tank is smaller than the 7.20-liter tank used in 2014, so the 2015 model requires more frequent fuel stops; the carburetor and chain final drive also call for routine maintenance.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Lightweight handling
At 118 kg dry, the Tricker is easier to maneuver at low speeds and when moving it by hand.
Room for rough surfaces
Its 270 mm of ground clearance and substantial suspension travel help it clear uneven ground.
Torque at moderate rpm
Peak torque arrives at 6,250 rpm, giving the single-cylinder engine useful pull without needing to reach very high engine speeds.
Things to consider
Small fuel tank
The 6.00-liter tank means more frequent fuel stops, and it is smaller than the 7.20-liter tank used in 2014.
Chain upkeep
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Limited top speed
Its 115 km/h top speed leaves less headroom for sustained high-speed riding.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
