Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience, though its manageable power delivery makes it approachable for confident newer riders moving up from smaller bikes.
PurposeA versatile naked all-rounder built for everyday riding, commuting, and spirited weekend rides rather than pure track or long-distance touring duty.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable curb weight make it accessible to riders of average and smaller stature, with an upright, low-fatigue riding position.
CharacterRevvy in-line four engine paired with agile, neutral handling gives it a lively, engaging personality that rewards a spirited riding style without being intimidating.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road adventures, serious two-up long-haul touring, or riders seeking maximum top-end sportbike performance.

2009 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS 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 ABS, 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.
