Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least some experience, as its weight and dated chassis reward a confident, deliberate riding style.
PurposeA classic air-cooled inline-four allrounder built for relaxed street riding and occasional light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe 790mm seat height and moderate 226kg dry weight make it manageable for average-height riders, though the heft is noticeable at low speed and standstill.
CharacterDelivers smooth, linear power delivery typical of an early-80s DOHC four, with a mechanical, analog character rather than aggressive urgency.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp modern handling, off-road capability, or strong outright acceleration.

1982 Suzuki GS 750 T Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1982 Suzuki GS 750 T, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
