Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience who want a torquey, muscular four-cylinder without the extreme edge of a full sportbike.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring all-rounder, blending big-bike comfort with a strong naked-bike engine for both weekend blasts and longer rides.
Rider FitA tall seat height and substantial 220kg dry weight mean it favors riders of average-to-taller height with reasonable strength for slow-speed maneuvers.
CharacterA muscular, unpretentious in-line four with a broad torque spread that rewards relaxed, confident riding rather than frantic revving.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use or for newer riders wanting a light, low-effort commuter bike.

2000 Suzuki GSF 1200 S Bandit Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2000 Suzuki GSF 1200 S Bandit, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
