Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to riders with prior experience on sportbikes who are comfortable with aggressive ergonomics and a high-rev inline-four.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and trackday-style cornering rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe committed riding position and firm 805mm seat height demand reasonable fitness and flexibility, and can become tiring on longer rides.
CharacterIt rewards a rider who enjoys revving an in-line four hard through corners and values sharp, lightweight handling over plush comfort.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, taller comfort-seekers, or anyone wanting a relaxed all-day touring or off-road capable machine.

2007 Yamaha YZF 600 R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha YZF 600 R, 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.
