Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a powerful, torquey in-line four with a firm chassis.
PurposeIt's built as a do-it-all naked sportbike, blending strong straight-line performance with capable cornering manners for spirited road riding.
Rider FitAt 227 kg with an 815 mm seat height, it demands a confident, moderately tall rider comfortable with its heft at low speeds.
CharacterThe FZ1 Fazer delivers muscular four-cylinder power and stable, precise handling wrapped in an aggressive naked-bike stance.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders seeking a plush long-distance touring experience.

2008 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer 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 2008 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS, 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.
