Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who are comfortable managing a big, heavy, powerful in-line four.
PurposeBuilt as a fast, comfortable sport tourer for covering long distances quickly rather than for tight track work or trail riding.
Rider FitAt around 248 kg dry with a moderate 790 mm seat height, it rewards riders of average-to-tall stature with reasonable upper body strength for low-speed maneuvering.
CharacterA muscular, torque-rich in-line four with a relaxed sport-touring temperament, favoring confident highway cruising over sharp, flickable handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for new riders, shorter riders wanting a light bike, or anyone seeking an off-road or nimble city commuter.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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 1995 Yamaha FJ 1200, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
