Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate or experienced riders who enjoy revving a small-capacity engine hard to extract its performance.
Purpose	A late-1980s Japanese race-replica built for sharp cornering, track days, and spirited sport riding rather than outright top-speed or utility.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light dry weight make it accessible to smaller or less physically strong riders, though the committed sportbike ergonomics still demand a forward-leaning, wrist-loaded riding position.
Character	A high-revving, four-cylinder DOHC screamer with an aluminum Delta Box frame that rewards precise inputs and aggressive cornering lines.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting a relaxed upright position, long-distance comfort, passenger accommodation, or any off-road capability.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1989 Yamaha FZR 400, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
