Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a punchy, high-revving triple with a light chassis.
PurposeBuilt for spirited street riding, quick city transitions, and aggressive backroad cornering rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitA low seat height and light overall weight make it manageable for most body sizes, though the firm sporty seat can tire riders on longer stints.
CharacterEnergetic and characterful, with a snarly triple-cylinder engine that rewards aggressive throttle use and quick direction changes.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, passenger touring, or any serious off-road capability.

2017 Yamaha FZ-09 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 Yamaha FZ-09, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
