|  According to the Suzuki (Germany) web site, the dry weight is 226 kg, and the maximum weight is 475 kg. If you allow about 24 kg for fuel and oil (19 kg fuel + 4 kg oil), that's an "empty" weight of 250 kg, so your maximum loading for passengers and luggage is 225 kg (496 lbs).

| That's not a problem. Until I installed clipons and lowered the fork clamps, I was the same. It's a non-issue if you have the foresight to not stop next to a pothole.

| The 1250 Bandit has a seat that's adjustable for height, make sure it was in the lowest position, also, the GSF 650 seat will fit right on a 1250, and it's one inch lower.
