Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders who already have some experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers, since the bike's mass and long wheelbase demand confident low-speed control.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed boulevard cruising and highway stretches where a big V-twin's torque and shaft-driven smoothness matter more than outright speed or cornering agility.
Rider FitRiders benefit from a reasonably long inseam and decent upper body strength to manage the bike's substantial weight at stops and in slow maneuvers, though the low seat height helps shorter riders plant their feet.
CharacterAppeals to laid-back riders who value classic cruiser styling, a thumping V-twin character, and a commanding, stretched-out riding position over sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good match for riders seeking nimble cornering, off-road capability, or lightweight city agility.

2014 Suzuki Intruder M1500 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 716mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Suzuki Intruder M1500, 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.
