Rider Profile

Best ForThis cruiser suits riders who already have some experience handling a heavy, low-slung motorcycle at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway cruising and long-distance touring rather than outright performance or sport riding.
Rider FitAt 363 kg with a low 720 mm seat height, it favors taller, stronger riders who can manage its bulk at parking-lot speeds despite the accessible seat.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-rich V-twin cruiser that rewards smooth, unhurried riding with shaft-drive reliability and touring comforts like a windshield and saddlebags.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or lightweight urban agility.

2016 Suzuki Intruder C1500T B O S S 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 2016 Suzuki Intruder C1500T B O S S, 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.
