Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a long, heavy cruiser with a big V-twin and shaft drive.
PurposeBuilt as a laid-back power cruiser for relaxed highway cruising and boulevard touring rather than sport riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height helps shorter riders reach the ground, but the substantial dry weight and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed handling strength.
CharacterA big-displacement V-twin cruiser that rewards a relaxed, torque-driven riding style with a commanding, classic cruiser presence.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable city bike.

2009 Suzuki Intruder C1800RT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 705mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Suzuki Intruder C1800RT, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
