Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some prior experience, since its long wheelbase and nearly 330 kg wet weight demand confident low-speed handling.
Purpose	Built as a big-inch power cruiser for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stretches rather than aggressive sport riding.
Rider Fit	The low 716 mm seat height suits shorter riders, but the substantial mass means stronger arms and core help when maneuvering at a standstill or in parking lots.
Character	A muscular, laid-back V-twin cruiser with deep torque delivery, chromed dual exhausts, and shaft-drive smoothness that rewards a relaxed, throttle-in-hand riding style.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city commuter.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 716mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Suzuki Boulevard M1500, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright 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.
