Best ForBest suited to licensed riders with solid experience, as the FJR's weight and power call for confident handling skills.
PurposeBuilt for devouring long highway miles in comfort while still offering strong performance when the road turns twisty.
Rider FitAt nearly 295 kg the bike demands decent strength and confidence at low speed, though its shaft drive and ergonomics ease long-haul fatigue.
CharacterA powerful, refined sport-tourer that blends inline-four muscle with shaft-drive smoothness for effortless cross-country cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures or riders seeking a light, flickable machine for tight urban commuting.

2009 Yamaha FJR 1300 AS 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 2009 Yamaha FJR 1300 AS, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 degrees and an upright 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.
