Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a large, heavy, powerful machine.
PurposeBuilt for covering long distances quickly in comfort, blending sporty performance with practical touring ability.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and moderate seat height demand a rider of reasonable strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA muscular, in-line four sport tourer with strong midrange torque and stable high-speed manners rather than razor-sharp agility.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for new riders seeking a light, nimble first bike or anyone wanting an off-road capable machine.

1996 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1996 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
