Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have progressed beyond a beginner bike and want a naked middleweight with real four-cylinder punch.
PurposeA versatile allround machine built for commuting, weekend backroad rides, and occasional longer trips rather than dedicated track work.
Rider FitThe 795mm seat height and moderate 207kg weight make it manageable for riders of average height and build, though the inline-four heft is noticeable at low speeds.
CharacterDelivers a smooth, high-revving inline-four character with strong midrange torque and confident, stable handling typical of Yamaha's naked sport-tourers.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or those wanting a lightweight, ultra-nimble city-only commuter.

2009 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer S2 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 2009 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer S2, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
