Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a naked-sport bike that is forgiving but still has real performance on tap.
PurposeA versatile all-rounder built for everyday commuting, weekend twisties, and occasional light touring rather than dedicated track use.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and 220kg weight make it manageable for riders of average height and moderate build, though not as light as a pure commuter.
CharacterA practical, torquey in-line four that rewards confident throttle use while remaining stable and predictable at speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking off-road capability or those wanting a dedicated sportbike for track days.

2013 Yamaha Fazer 8 ABS 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 2013 Yamaha Fazer 8 ABS, 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.
