Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a naked-sport machine with real performance in reserve.
PurposeA versatile inline-four streetbike built for spirited road riding, commuting, and occasional weekend touring rather than track dominance.
Rider FitA moderate 815mm seat height and 215kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-to-tall riders, though shorter riders may find the reach at a stop a bit tall.
CharacterSmooth, high-revving inline-four character with a torquey midrange, giving confident acceleration and stable, predictable handling.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road riding, dedicated long-distance touring comfort, or riders wanting a light, entry-level first bike.

2011 Yamaha FAZER8 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha FAZER8, 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.
