Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience with big, heavy cruisers, since the low-slung weight and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway miles rather than sport riding, with its big air-cooled V-twin delivering strong, unhurried torque.
Rider FitThe low 740mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, but the substantial 295kg weight means good upper-body strength and balance help when maneuvering at a standstill or parking.
CharacterA classic, laid-back cruiser character with a shaft-driven big-inch V-twin, chrome spoked wheels, and a torquey, unhurried powerband suited to soaking in the ride.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or outright top-speed thrills.

2010 Suzuki Boulevard S83 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Suzuki Boulevard S83, 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.
