Rider Profile

Best ForThis big-bore naked-sport tourer suits riders with at least intermediate experience who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy machine at low speeds.
PurposeIt is built as a fast, comfortable all-rounder for mixing spirited backroad riding with long-distance touring, thanks to its large in-line four engine and half-fairing.
Rider FitAt 254 kg with an 810 mm seat height, it demands a reasonably tall and strong rider, especially for slow maneuvers and parking lot U-turns.
CharacterThe bike has a torquey, muscular character from its 1255cc engine, favoring relaxed, confident cruising over razor-sharp agility.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for lightweight-seeking beginners, short-inseam riders, or anyone planning to take it off-road.

2013 Suzuki Bandit 1250SA Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Suzuki Bandit 1250SA, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. 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.
