Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders from newer intermediates through experienced riders looking for a manageable, confidence-inspiring all-rounder.
PurposeA versatile inline-four sport-tourer designed for comfortable commuting, weekend rides, and light touring rather than outright track performance.
Rider FitThe 790mm seat height and 241kg curb weight make it approachable for riders of average height and moderate strength, though the mass is noticeable at low speeds.
CharacterA smooth, predictable machine with a revvy four-cylinder engine that rewards higher RPM use while remaining friendly and forgiving in everyday riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or class-leading sportbike acceleration and cornering aggression.

2011 Suzuki GSX650F Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Suzuki GSX650F, 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.
