Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who have moved beyond a beginner bike and want a naked middleweight with real four-cylinder performance.
PurposeA versatile naked sportbike designed for spirited street riding, commuting, and occasional weekend canyon runs rather than dedicated touring or track use.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable curb weight around 208 kg make it approachable for riders of average height and build, though the upright naked stance means less wind protection at speed.
CharacterRevvy in-line four engine character with a linear power delivery, agile steel-framed handling, and a raw, unfaired naked-bike feel.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, wind protection, or any off-road capability.

2010 Yamaha FZ6 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Yamaha FZ6, 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.
