Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable managing a torquey, powerful in-line four with a firm sporty chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a big-bore naked streetfighter, it's meant for spirited road riding, weekend blasts, and occasional trackday fun rather than commuting comfort or long-haul touring.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and 214kg wet weight demand a reasonably fit rider with good leg reach and confidence handling its heft at low speeds.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, muscular naked-bike personality, delivering strong midrange punch, sharp steering geometry, and premium brakes for a raw, engaging feel.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for absolute beginners, riders seeking plush touring comfort, or anyone wanting off-road capability.

2012 Yamaha FZ1-N Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Yamaha FZ1-N, 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.
