Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer-to-intermediate riders thanks to its manageable 400cc capacity and wide, linear rev-driven power delivery.
PurposeIt's built primarily as a nimble, high-revving naked bike for spirited street riding and weaving through urban traffic.
Rider FitA low seat height and light overall weight make it accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe free-spinning in-line four rewards riders who enjoy chasing revs rather than relying on low-end torque.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting big highway-mile touring comfort or serious off-road capability.

2014 Suzuki GSR 400 ABS 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 2014 Suzuki GSR 400 ABS, 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.
