Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who have progressed past entry-level bikes and want a punchy in-line four with real top-end pull.
PurposeA do-it-all naked roadster that mixes lively sport performance with everyday usability.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable mid-weight build make it accessible to most average-height riders, though the reach to the bars is sportier than a pure commuter.
CharacterRevvy and eager, this bike rewards spirited riding with a smooth, high-revving four-cylinder character and sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking a plush long-distance tourer or anyone planning to take it off paved roads.

2001 Yamaha FZS 600 S Fazer 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 2001 Yamaha FZS 600 S Fazer, 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.
