Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a heavy, torquey big-bore naked bike.
Purpose	A do-it-all air-cooled muscle-naked built for strong straight-line performance, comfortable commuting, and relaxed weekend touring rather than track precision.
Rider Fit	Its 220 kg dry weight and 790 mm seat height demand reasonable rider strength and confidence at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
Character	Delivers old-school four-cylinder charm with a broad, muscular torque spread rather than razor-sharp sportbike handling.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for off-road use or for riders seeking cutting-edge sportbike agility and lightweight cornering feel.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit, 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.
