Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior experience who want a relaxed, confidence-inspiring big-bore machine rather than an aggressive supersport.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring all-rounder, comfortable covering long distances while still offering a lively in-line four engine for spirited riding.
Rider FitAt 257 kg with a seat height around 805-825 mm, it's a substantial bike that rewards riders of average-to-tall height and reasonable strength at low speeds.
CharacterA smooth, torquey, unhurried sport-tourer character with a balancer-shaft-refined four-cylinder engine and a classic tube-frame chassis that favors stability over razor-sharp agility.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for track-day enthusiasts chasing outright lap times or for off-road exploration given its street-focused sportbike tires and low ground clearance.

2014 Suzuki GSX1250 FA 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 2014 Suzuki GSX1250 FA, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
