Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who have graduated beyond a beginner machine and want a punchy, revvy inline-four without stepping into full sportbike territory.
PurposeIt's built as an all-around naked streetbike, equally happy carving corners on a weekend ride or handling daily commuting duties.
Rider FitA moderate 795mm seat height and manageable 201kg curb weight make it accessible to riders of average build and height, though the tall-ish stance and firm reach may challenge shorter riders.
CharacterThe FZ6 S2 delivers a lively, high-revving inline-four character with sharp handling and confidence-inspiring ABS-equipped brakes, rewarding a spirited riding style.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, wind protection, or any kind of off-road capability.

2009 Yamaha FZ6 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 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.
