Does the Yamaha FJ1200 fit you?
The Yamaha FJ1200 (1989–1990) lists a 780 mm seat height. In this simplified seat-height model, an inseam around 78 cm is a rough ground-reach reference, not a guarantee of flat-footing. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change foot contact. Enter your measurements above to compare the modeled reach, then confirm it on the motorcycle.
Riding position
The Yamaha FJ1200's sport-touring category suggests a mild forward lean as a modeled starting point. The simulator estimates knee, hip, and elbow angles from the available geometry and your measurements so you can compare the reach to the bars and pegs.
Typical category use
The sport-touring category is commonly associated with fast distance riding — sporty pace with enough comfort and luggage for long days. Rider Height does not assess handling, performance, or whether this motorcycle is suitable for a particular rider.
Fit figures are planning estimates from the current geometry and simplified model assumptions. They are not safety, compatibility, or purchase advice; confirm fit on the actual motorcycle.
