Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some prior experience, as its air-oil cooled inline-four and carbureted 750cc engine deliver a broad, manageable spread of power rather than an intimidating rush.
PurposeIt's built as a naked-styled sport machine, blending everyday usability with a sporty chassis and twin front discs for confident, spirited road riding.
Rider FitThe 790mm seat height and 211kg dry weight make it accessible to a wide range of rider sizes, with a manageable, not overly aggressive riding position.
CharacterThe Katana 750 has a classic, air-oil cooled inline-four charm, favoring smooth, linear delivery and old-school mechanical feel over cutting-edge sharpness.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking modern liquid-cooled performance, long-distance touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2006 Suzuki Katana 750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Suzuki Katana 750, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
