Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable managing a heavier, torque-rich machine at low speeds and on long hauls.
PurposeBuilt primarily for covering long distances in comfort with luggage, rather than outright sportiness or track performance.
Rider FitAt 258 kg with a tallish seat height, it demands a reasonably confident and physically capable rider, especially at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA relaxed, torquey sport-tourer that favors smooth, mile-eating cruising over sharp, aggressive cornering behavior.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road riders or those seeking a light, flickable machine for tight city or track riding.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Suzuki GSX1250FA ST, 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.
