Rider Profile

Best ForSuits beginner to intermediate riders who want a relaxed, low-stress cruiser experience rather than outright performance.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and short-to-medium distance rides rather than speed or long-haul touring.
Rider FitThe low 700mm seat height and manageable 269kg weight make it approachable for shorter or less experienced riders, though the cruiser stance limits ground clearance for aggressive maneuvers.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser character with laid-back torque delivery, a shaft drive for low maintenance, and styling that favors cool, unhurried riding over aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

2016 Suzuki Intruder M800 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 2016 Suzuki Intruder M800, 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.
