Rider Profile

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Suzuki GSR 400 ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
