Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, since the weight and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt primarily for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring rather than outright speed or sporty cornering.
Rider FitA tall or average-height rider will feel most at home, as the low seat suits shorter riders but the substantial weight requires reasonable upper body strength at parking speeds.
CharacterThis bike has the character of a laid-back, torque-rich boulevard cruiser that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or track-day thrills.

2013 Suzuki Intruder C1500T 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 2013 Suzuki Intruder C1500T, 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.
