Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a powerful, naked liter-class engine with immediate throttle response.
PurposeBuilt as a street-focused naked bike that blends sportbike-derived power and handling with a more upright, versatile riding position.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and 221kg weight demand reasonable leg length and confident low-speed handling, though the naked ergonomics are less punishing than a full sportbike.
CharacterA muscular, torque-rich streetfighter that rewards aggressive riding while still being usable for everyday commuting and spirited weekend rides.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for off-road use, complete beginners, or riders prioritizing long-distance touring comfort and wind protection.

2011 Yamaha FZ1 ABS 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 ABS, 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.
