Rider Profile

Best ForSuits newer or licence-restricted riders as well as experienced riders wanting a light, easy-revving naked without intimidating power.
PurposeBuilt primarily as an urban and back-road naked bike, favoring nimble handling over outright speed or long-distance capability.
Rider FitIts low seat height and modest 215 kg wet weight make it manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA revvy, high-strung 400cc inline-four that rewards spinning it up rather than relying on low-end torque, giving a lively, engaged feel at city speeds.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, heavy passenger duty, or any off-road use.

2011 Suzuki GSR 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 2011 Suzuki GSR 400, 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.
