Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with some experience handling heavy, low-slung machines, though the low seat height keeps it approachable for less seasoned cruiser fans.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stretches where torque-rich low-end power matters more than outright speed.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat and reasonable reach suit shorter riders, but the substantial dry weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper-body strength at a stop.
CharacterA classic big-bore V-twin cruiser with a thumping SOHC three-valve engine, shaft drive smoothness, and unmistakable old-school Suzuki custom styling.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or genuine sport-touring performance.

2004 Suzuki Intruder LC 1500 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 2004 Suzuki Intruder LC 1500, 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.
