Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience, since the FJR's substantial weight and long wheelbase reward confident, deliberate handling.
Purpose	Built for devouring long highway miles and covering continents in comfort, with enough power in reserve for confident overtakes and spirited backroad stretches.
Rider Fit	A tall and heavy machine that favors riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable strength, particularly at low speed and when maneuvering it off its centerstand or through tight parking.
Character	A refined, shaft-driven sport tourer that blends effortless four-cylinder power delivery with plush suspension and full weather protection for a relaxed yet capable riding experience.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight city commuting or any kind of off-road adventure.

Units

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Yamaha FJR 1300 AE, 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.
