Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power delivery and manageable low-end torque.
PurposeDesigned for relaxed cruising and short to medium distance rides rather than outright performance or long-haul touring.
Rider FitA low seat height and moderate weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the cruiser stance means less wind protection on the highway.
CharacterA laid-back V-twin cruiser that delivers smooth, unhurried power with classic custom styling and shaft-drive simplicity.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2006 Suzuki Intruder C800 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 2006 Suzuki Intruder C800, 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.
