Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders comfortable managing a large, heavy sport-tourer at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built primarily for high-speed, long-distance touring with strong shaft-driven torque and all-day comfort rather than outright sportbike thrills.
Rider Fit	At nearly 291kg wet with a tall seat height, shorter or less physically confident riders may find slow-speed maneuvering and parking a workout.
Character	A refined, torque-rich mile-muncher that rewards smooth, confident riding with effortless highway cruising and strong shaft-drive reliability.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city commuting or off-road exploration.

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 2025 Yamaha FJR1300ES, 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.
