Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power and easy-going low-end torque delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a laid-back cruiser for relaxed boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider FitThe low seat height and relaxed cruiser ergonomics make it accessible for shorter riders, though the 276 kg dry weight demands some care at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA classic-styled small-displacement V-twin cruiser that prioritizes style, sound, and easy cruising over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking high speed, aggressive cornering, or off-road capability.

2012 Suzuki Intruder Classic 400 Cast Wheel 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 2012 Suzuki Intruder Classic 400 Cast Wheel, 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.
