Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a heavy, powerful shaft-driven machine at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built primarily for high-speed, long-distance sport touring where comfort, weather protection, and sustained cruising performance matter more than outright agility.
Rider Fit	At nearly 300 kg with a tall-ish seat, it rewards riders of average or above height and reasonable strength for parking, U-turns, and low-speed maneuvers.
Character	A confident, refined mile-eater that blends inline-four power and shaft-drive smoothness with touring comforts like heated grips and an adjustable windshield.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for off-road use, new riders wary of heavy bikes, or anyone prioritizing lightweight, flickable handling in town.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Yamaha FJR1300AS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
