Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an experienced rider comfortable managing a heavy, powerful machine at low speeds and on long hauls.
Purpose	Built primarily for covering big miles quickly and comfortably rather than for track days or off-road exploration.
Rider Fit	At nearly 292 kg wet with a tall seat option, it rewards taller, stronger riders when maneuvering at parking-lot speeds.
Character	A refined, shaft-driven sport tourer that blends strong inline-four performance with plush comfort and long-distance electronics like adaptive cornering lights.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

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 2009 Yamaha FJR1300AE, 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.
