Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a naked liter-bike best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage strong midrange torque and a firm, sporty chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a do-it-all streetfighter, it blends big inline-four performance with an upright, more practical riding position than a full fairing sportbike.
Rider FitAt around 221 kg with an 815 mm seat height, it demands a confident, moderately tall rider comfortable managing its mass at low speed.
CharacterThe FZ1 delivers punchy, linear power delivery and stable, precise handling thanks to its aluminum frame and sport-tuned suspension, favoring aggressive road riding over long-distance cruising.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for beginners, off-road riders, or anyone wanting a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer.

2011 Yamaha FZ1 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha FZ1, 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.
