PurposeBuilt for high-speed, long-distance sport touring where power, weather protection, and shaft-drive durability matter more than outright agility.
Rider FitA tall seat height and substantial 292 kg wet weight demand reasonable rider strength and confidence when stopped or maneuvering at parking speeds.
CharacterA powerful, refined in-line four sport tourer that blends strong midrange torque with shaft-drive shaft-drive reliability and premium touring comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight urban commuting.

2021 Yamaha FJR1300AE Ultimate Edition 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 2021 Yamaha FJR1300AE Ultimate Edition, 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.
