Rider Profile

Best For	For experienced riders only. Its 200hp crossplane engine and racing electronics demand real skill and respect; a poor choice for novices.
Purpose	A track-focused open-class superbike built to devour circuits and fast canyon roads, with launch, slide and traction control for extracting extreme performance.
Rider Fit	Aggressive committed riding posture: high rearset pegs, low clip-ons, 856mm seat and firm race suspension. Compact 448lb chassis rewards, but punishes on long rides.
Character	A razor-sharp, screaming crossplane litre-bike-intense, precise and utterly focused. All adrenaline, thriving at full throttle and hard lean angles.
Not Ideal For	Not for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, two-up touring, or anyone wanting a relaxed all-day ride. No off-road ability whatsoever.

Units

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

Feet:

At 856mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2016 Yamaha YZF-R1, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
