Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds and confident carrying strong power on long rides.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high speed, long distance sport touring where comfort, wind protection, and shaft-drive reliability matter more than outright agility.
Rider FitAt nearly 288 kg with an 805 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably fit and physically confident rider, especially for slow maneuvers, U-turns, and parking.
CharacterA powerful, refined, shaft-driven mile-eater that blends sport-bike engine performance with touring comfort, weather protection, and shaft-drive low maintenance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city commuting.

2014 Yamaha FJR1300A 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 2014 Yamaha FJR1300A, 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.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH Dec 2020 · 20V814000

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2018-2020 MTT9GT (Tracer GT), 2019 MXTGTKL (NIKEN GT), 2017-2020 MT10, 2018-2020 XTZ12 (Super Ténéré), 2013-2020 FJR13, 2018 XV19B (Star Eluder), and 2018-2021 XV19 (Star Venture) motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail due to increased resistance from silicon oxide.

Risk: Failure of the front brake switch can cause the brake light to stay on constantly and/or the cruise control system to shutoff unexpectedly. Both situations increases the risk of a crash.
