Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to beginners and new riders thanks to its low power output, light weight, and forgiving, easy-to-manage nature.
Purpose	Designed primarily as an affordable, muscular-looking commuter and city runabout rather than a performance machine.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light dry weight make it accessible to riders of shorter stature or smaller build.
Character	Has a naked-streetfighter-style stance with a torquey low-end feel typical of small-displacement single-cylinder engines, favoring relaxed, upright commuting over outright speed.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for highway touring, two-up long journeys, or riders seeking strong high-speed performance or off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Yamaha FZ16, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
