Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least a couple of years of experience who want a relaxed but capable all-rounder rather than a razor-edged sportbike.
PurposeDesigned as a sport-touring allrounder that blends comfortable long-distance travel with confident everyday and weekend road riding.
Rider FitA moderately heavy 257kg machine with a manageable seat height, making it accessible to average-height riders but requiring some muscle at low speed or when maneuvering.
CharacterA smooth, torquey in-line four with a balancer shaft gives a refined, unhurried character rather than an aggressive sportbike feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking track-focused sharpness, aggressive acceleration, or any serious off-road capability.

2016 Suzuki GSX1250FAZ Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Suzuki GSX1250FAZ, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
