Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior experience on powerful, heavier sport bikes, as the torquey inline-four and substantial mass reward confident, deliberate inputs.
Purpose	Designed as a fast, capable sport tourer that blends genuine high-speed performance with the comfort needed to cover long distances two-up.
Rider Fit	A moderate seat height and a fairly substantial dry weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find low-speed maneuvering and stop-and-go handling more demanding than on a lighter machine.
Character	A muscular, five-valve-per-cylinder in-line four gives strong midrange torque and a satisfying top-end pull, delivering effortless high-speed cruising with sporty reserves on tap.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for new riders seeking a light, forgiving first bike, nor for anyone wanting an off-road or trail-capable machine.

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 2000 Yamaha YZF 1000 R Thunderace, 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.
