Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a strong, torquey in-line four without razor-edged sportbike reflexes.
PurposeBuilt as an all-rounder naked that handles commuting, weekend blasts, and light touring equally well.
Rider FitAt 247 kg with a 785 mm seat height, it's a substantial machine that rewards riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable strength at low speed.
CharacterA relaxed, big-hearted muscle-naked with smooth four-cylinder power delivery and a comfortable, upright riding position.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road use or for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical corners.

2010 Suzuki Bandit 1250S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Suzuki Bandit 1250S, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
