Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who are confident managing huge power delivery and a heavy, fast-accelerating motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a hyper-sport speed machine for high-speed highway runs and top-end thrills rather than technical track carving.
Rider FitRiders need decent strength and stamina to manage its considerable weight at low speed and to hold on under its violent acceleration.
CharacterA brutally fast, iconic long-distance sport bike that blends outright top-speed performance with surprising highway comfort.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for beginners, short commutes in heavy traffic, or anyone wanting a light, playful, or off-road capable machine.

2018 Suzuki Hayabusa Z 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 2018 Suzuki Hayabusa Z, 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.
