Rider Profile

Best For	This is a demanding supersport built for experienced riders who are comfortable with a high-strung engine that only makes real power above 10,000 RPM.
Purpose	It exists to be ridden hard on a racetrack or aggressive mountain road, prioritizing razor-sharp cornering ability over any everyday practicality.
Rider Fit	The low clip-on bars, high pegs, and firm race-oriented ergonomics demand a fit, flexible rider willing to lean into an aggressive forward crouch.
Character	It rewards a precise, high-revving riding style with explosive top-end acceleration, pinpoint steering, and track-level braking performance.
Not Ideal For	It is a poor choice for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting a relaxed, comfortable, or passenger-friendly motorcycle.

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2021 Yamaha YZF R6 Race, 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.
