Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a relaxed but capable big-bore machine rather than a razor-sharp sportbike.
Purpose	Built as a naked sport-tourer that blends comfortable long-distance capability with a torquey inline-four for effortless overtakes and highway cruising.
Rider Fit	At 254 kg dry with an 805 mm seat height, it demands a taller inseam and some upper body strength for slow-speed maneuvering and parking.
Character	A dependable, understated all-rounder that favors smooth, linear power delivery and stability over aggressive sportiness.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for lightweight-seeking riders, off-road enthusiasts, or those chasing knee-down trackday thrills.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Suzuki Bandit 1250 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.
