Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a powerful, high-revving literbike engine and strong acceleration.
PurposeBuilt as a naked streetfighter, it excels at fast, aggressive road riding and spirited cornering rather than long-distance cruising or off-road use.
Rider FitA moderately heavy machine with a firm reach to the bars, it rewards riders with reasonable strength and confidence handling weight at low speed.
CharacterIt has the soul of a hot-rod, blending superbike-derived performance with an upright, muscular naked-bike stance.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer.

2015 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer 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 2015 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer, 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.
