Honda CBF600S vs Yamaha FJ1200 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CBF600S has a 785 mm seat; the Yamaha FJ1200 sits at 780 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 79 cm for the Honda CBF600S and 78 cm for the Yamaha FJ1200.

That makes the Yamaha FJ1200 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CBF600S gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
