Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, though the low seat height and predictable power delivery make it approachable for confident newer riders too.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance highway cruising with a passenger and luggage rather than sport riding or commuting agility.
Rider FitAt 363 kg with a low 720 mm seat, it's physically manageable at rest and while cruising but demands care at low speed and when maneuvering in tight spaces.
CharacterA laid-back V-twin cruiser with strong low-end torque, shaft drive smoothness, and touring comforts like a windshield and saddlebags for effortless mile-munching.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting sharp cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight bike for city darting and lane splitting.

2014 Suzuki Intruder C1500BT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Suzuki Intruder C1500BT, 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.
