Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have moved beyond entry-level bikes and want a confident, torquey in-line four without full-on supersport intensity.
PurposeA versatile sport-touring naked/faired machine built for engaging back-road riding, commuting, and occasional longer trips.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and moderate 215kg weight make it manageable for average-height riders, though its mass is still noticeable at low speeds.
CharacterSmooth, revvy in-line four delivering strong midrange torque and a sporty yet composed chassis feel thanks to the deltabox frame and inverted forks.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for off-road use or riders seeking a lightweight, ultra-nimble commuter, given its road-only tires and sport-touring focus.

2014 Yamaha Fazer 8 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Yamaha Fazer 8, 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.
