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.

2020 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 2020 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.
