Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits new to intermediate riders who want a light, manageable machine to build confidence on.
PurposeIt is best suited for commuting, city riding, and light weekend fun rather than long-distance travel or racing.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light weight of around 131 kg make it easy for shorter or less experienced riders to handle.
CharacterThe Vixion R has a sporty naked-bike look with a small, punchy single-cylinder engine that rewards revving over outright power.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for riders seeking high-speed touring, serious off-road capability, or two-up comfort over long distances.

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Yamaha Vixion R, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
