Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to beginner and intermediate riders thanks to its modest power and easy-going low-speed manners.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed cruising and casual boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport handling.
Rider FitThe low seat height and low center of gravity make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders, though the 275 kg dry weight demands some care at parking-lot speeds.
CharacterA classic small-displacement V-twin cruiser that trades performance for laid-back style, torque-driven cruising feel, and easy rideability.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking highway-passing power, aggressive cornering ability, or any off-road capability.

2011 Suzuki Intruder 400 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Suzuki Intruder 400, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
