Yamaha R1M. Right For You?

[@Scout4x]

Hey Paul! Good to have you back! Now.. get out there and get us (who are in winter conditions) some nice Aussie summer footage, PLEASE!

[@guyfuller1369]

That’s a tall and young person’s bike-twenty minutes in that riding position and I’d be crippled for life.

[@arya_rafli]

This bike (R1M) has extremely tall seat (860 mm)........even taller than Panigale V4 (840 or 845 mm). And I just 164 cm (approx 5'3" or 5'4") Edit: Actually my height is 166-167 cm. I'm not sure about my own height because I rarely measure my body height.

[@christopher7310]

Oh yes seeing the model that most represents me always being the first one up there just cements the fact that I can't ride the majority of awesome bikes because I'm too short lol

[@lethargicstove2024]

Just grow lol

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

[@BikesILike]

Thanks Moto TV. I actually need to hear that at the moment. 😉

[@miguelangelo9787]

I'm 177cm and I got almost my entire foot on the floor without any weight on, I weigh 84kg making me have perfect floor reach and clearance. So even if your short you can Allways lower the bike even though you shouldn't..

[@stevenolavario5897]

Doesn't matter let me know feet touch I'm 5'3 R1 I should try as much possible to just do rider his control is very good always 😀

[@cgfhyt4380]

I am 179 cm or 5'10 inch maybe and i have 85.5 cm inside leg, but this seat height R1M is fucking tall.

[@pacshakur2600]

Can you do it with dirt bikes?

[@darknightXER0]

First of all, these videos are incredibly helpful and the community is so appreciative of your efforts in creating these. Thank you so much! I have a question about your measurement calculations as I’m curious about these numbers. I’m 6’4” (193cm) with a 33” inseam. Some of your earlier videos illustrate the 6’4” rider having a 35” inseam but the more recent ones say 37” inseam. Would you mind explaining how those numbers came about or why the change from 35” to 37”? I know these illustrations are just rough estimates but a 4” difference for me is a major deciding factor to consider as I look at these for my size. As always, I appreciate all you do. 🙂

[@BikesILike]

First up thanks Dark Knight for your respectfully written comment and not automatically assuming I've made a mistake. 😉 As I've been making these videos I'm constantly watching feedback and fine tuning my process. I listen to what you guys have to say. I originally started off making my videos using the term 'inseam' which technically comes from garment manufacture and means measuring from ankle to groin. But I was measuring from ground to groin which is more correctly termed 'inside leg'. If you look at the earlier videos you'll see I switched from inseam to inside leg and when I did that I took another look at my averaged measurements and made some tweaks to better reflect the feedback I was getting. I have a video in mind that I've been meaning to make on body proportions. The process of researching and making these videos has taught me a lot about the amazing degree off variance people have between torso and leg length. It's quite eye opening. I also thought about dropping height altogether and just focusing on inside leg measurements. But I feel height is still a good ballpark indicator and it's a more instantly relatable measurement for viewers. Hope that satisfies your question! 👍

[@darknightXER0]

@@BikesILike ohhh, I didn’t notice the change from inseam to inside leg. Thank you so much for that clarification. I honestly didn’t look that closely after watching about 20 of these videos in a row. 😅 I appreciate your reply very much and, yes, I see exactly what you mean and it makes perfect sense. Thank you for the clarification. It definitely helps.

[@BikesILike]

@Dark Knight Tracer 😉👍

[@MrAndrew1953]

I’m 58 so this bike looks a little too line ball in terms of being able to get both feet or balls of both feet on the ground.? That surprises me that Yamaha would build a bike that way.

[@BigbootyKim]

Im 5’8 and own a 2015 r1m and have no problems. You get used to it. The bike is worth it trust me

[@johnwishlyvicente1503]

Hey bro

[@Thunderbolt117]

Hello i just had a doubt in some of your do i fit series videos u show inseam of 5'6" as 29" amd in some 30"... so which one is correct?? Is it 29" or 30"?

[@BikesILike]

In earlier videos I used inseam (ankle to groin) and later I switched to Inside leg (ground to groin). Based on feedback from viewers I also tweaked the measurements along the way.

[@Thunderbolt117]

@@BikesILike Thanks👍🏻

[@siclt1]

Is the seat height including rider weight? How far down does the bike go with a 180 lbs person on it?

[@BikesILike]

No I just use the manufacturers promotional imagery. The bike will settle a little with rider weight applied.

[@jonomasonILoveU]

Hi BIL, nice bit of kit right there, I would fit well at 5"11, unfortunately I`d prolly kill myself/shite myself, whatever comes first : ) .

[@Dhee_R1M]

Im 5'2 can I ride this bike

[@ojusms]

I am about 5'5 and I do not think it is possible for me or anyone that is below 5'10. BUT, people do all sorts of logic defying things, so maybe you can.

[@nahidsarker69]

tnx bro

[@BikesILike]

You're welcome! 👍

[@relaxingtrip4224]

Even though this company is Asian they built this bike for american and european height...sad cause im 5'6
