Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, as the FJR's substantial weight and size reward confident, deliberate handling.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a fast, shaft-driven sport tourer for covering long distances quickly and comfortably rather than for aggressive track riding.
Rider FitA tall, heavy machine that demands a decent inseam and some upper-body strength for slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterA powerful, refined in-line four with a shaft drive that delivers effortless high-speed cruising and strong long-haul stability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable bike for tight urban commuting or off-road adventures.

2004 Yamaha FJR 1300 A 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 2004 Yamaha FJR 1300 A, 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.
