Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience, as the bike's weight and torquey inline-four demand confident low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed sport touring, blending a naked-bike upright stance with enough power for highway overtakes and long-distance comfort.
Rider FitA tall seat height and substantial dry weight mean shorter or less physically strong riders may find it a handful at a standstill or in tight maneuvers.
CharacterA muscular, unpretentious all-rounder that favors smooth, linear torque delivery and stability over outright aggression or sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for off-road use or riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical corners.

2015 Suzuki Bandit 1250S ABS 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 2015 Suzuki Bandit 1250S ABS, 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.
