Yamaha FJ1200 vs Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Yamaha FJ1200 has a 780 mm seat; the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F sits at 785 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 78 cm for the Yamaha FJ1200 and 79 cm for the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F.

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 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
