Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least intermediate experience who can manage a heavy, torquey litre-class in-line four.
Purpose	A do-it-all naked bike designed for fast road riding, commuting, and light touring rather than racetrack or off-road use.
Rider Fit	The 810mm seat height and substantial overall weight of a big-bore naked mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find it a handful at low speed.
Character	Delivers strong, linear in-line four power with a comfortable upright riding position, favoring relaxed muscle over razor-sharp aggression.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for off-road adventures or riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight technical corners.

Units

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 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250, 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.
