Rider Profile

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

2022 Yamaha FJR1300AE Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2022 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.
