Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits beginners and new riders who want a light, easy-to-manage machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt's built primarily as a commuter and city runabout rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light 135 kg weight make it accessible and easy to handle for riders of most sizes, including shorter riders.
CharacterIt has a nimble, unintimidating personality suited to weaving through traffic and short daily rides rather than exciting outright speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders seeking highway touring comfort, high-speed thrills, or any serious off-road capability.

2017 Yamaha FZS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Yamaha FZS, 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.
