Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience, from confident newer riders to seasoned ones, thanks to its manageable power delivery and forgiving chassis.
PurposeA versatile naked-sport machine built for spirited road riding, commuting, and occasional longer trips rather than dedicated track or off-road use.
Rider FitA moderate 219 kg curb weight and 815 mm seat height make it accessible to most rider statures, though it still demands reasonable strength at low speed and standstill.
CharacterDelivers a punchy, torquey in-line four engine wrapped in a light aluminium Deltabox frame, giving a lively yet composed and confidence-inspiring ride.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal choice for riders seeking a dedicated off-road, adventure-touring, or pure track-focused superbike experience.

2011 Yamaha FAZER8 ABS 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 ABS, 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.
