Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a supersport built for experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive ergonomics and razor-sharp handling at speed.
PurposeIt is a track-focused sportbike (a carbureted-look, essentially R6-based model) designed primarily for canyon carving and circuit riding rather than everyday commuting.
Rider FitThe low, compact 186 kg chassis paired with a high 820 mm seat and aggressive forward-leaning riding position demands a fit, flexible rider who can tolerate wrist and wrist and back strain on longer rides.
CharacterExpect a screaming high-revving inline-four character that rewards precise inputs, hard braking, and commitment to corner speed over relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for beginners, taller or larger riders seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed touring or two-up companion.

2007 Yamaha YZF-R6S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2007 Yamaha YZF-R6S, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
