Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of any experience level thanks to its fully automatic transmission and predictable manners.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a comfortable, practical commuter and light tourer rather than a performance machine.
Rider FitLow seat height and automatic gearbox make it accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders, though its 215 kg weight requires some care at low speed.
CharacterA composed, refined maxi-scooter that prioritizes smooth power delivery, weather protection, and storage over outright excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sporty performance, off-road capability, or a machine to carve up twisty mountain roads aggressively.

2016 Suzuki Burgman 400 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 710mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Suzuki Burgman 400 ABS, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
