Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have moved past a beginner bike and want a naked-sport all-rounder with an inline-four's smooth top-end pull.
PurposeA do-it-all machine built primarily for commuting and weekend fun with occasional light touring, rather than outright track performance.
Rider FitAt 250 kg with a 790 mm seat height it's a manageable but noticeably substantial bike, best suited to riders of average height and above with reasonable upper body strength.
CharacterFriendly and predictable, with a revvy four-cylinder engine that rewards higher RPM riding while still being tame and confidence-inspiring at low speeds.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability or a dedicated long-distance touring machine with wind protection and luggage capacity.

2015 Suzuki Bandit 650S ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Suzuki Bandit 650S 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.
