Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds and on twisty roads.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed, long-distance sport touring where comfort, weather protection, and strong sustained performance matter more than outright agility.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall or confident with a fairly high seat height and substantial weight, especially when maneuvering it at a standstill or in parking lots.
CharacterA powerful, refined, and composed grand tourer that rewards smooth, confident riding with effortless highway cruising and strong overtaking power.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight urban commuting.

2005 Yamaha FJR 1300 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 818mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2005 Yamaha FJR 1300, 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.
