Rider Profile

Best For	Suits riders with at least some prior experience, from newer intermediates to seasoned veterans looking for an easygoing all-rounder.
Purpose	Built as a versatile sport-tourer that handles daily commuting, weekend rides, and longer highway journeys with equal competence.
Rider Fit	Its moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it approachable for riders of average build, though its bulk is still noticeable at low speeds.
Character	A composed and unintimidating in-line four that delivers smooth, linear power without demanding sharp reflexes or aggressive inputs.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking razor-sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or outright top-tier sportbike performance.

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 1999 Yamaha XJ 900 S Diversion, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright 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.
