Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its approachable power delivery and manageable weight, while still offering enough performance to keep experienced riders entertained.
PurposeA versatile naked bike designed primarily for daily commuting and spirited street riding rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA moderate 785mm seat height and 205kg wet weight make it accessible for riders of average and shorter stature to manage at a stop and in slow maneuvers.
CharacterA smooth, free-revving inline-four with a light, nimble chassis that rewards flowing through corners and city traffic with confidence.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal choice for riders seeking dedicated highway touring comfort, serious off-road capability, or track-level top-end performance.

2014 Yamaha XJ6 SP Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Yamaha XJ6 SP, 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.
