Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who can appreciate its unconventional RADD front suspension and substantial weight.
PurposeDesigned as a comfortable, stable sport tourer for covering long distances with confidence rather than chasing outright speed or track thrills.
Rider FitA tall and fairly heavy machine that rewards riders of average-to-above-average height and strength when maneuvering at low speeds.
CharacterAn engineering curiosity with a smooth, torquey inline-four and a hub-center steering front end that delivers a uniquely planted, unshaken ride.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for aggressive canyon carving or off-road excursions.

1995 Yamaha GTS 1000 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 1995 Yamaha GTS 1000, 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.
