Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to an experienced rider who appreciates classic, muscular naked bikes with strong low-to-mid range torque.
Purpose	Designed as a retro-styled UJM-style roadster for spirited street riding rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider Fit	A solid 245 kg curb weight and 795 mm seat height demand reasonable rider strength and confidence at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
Character	Delivers a raw, air-cooled inline-four character with strong midrange punch, direct steering feel, and old-school analog engagement.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking wind protection, long-haul touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

Units

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 2008 Yamaha XJR1300, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
