Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits new-to-intermediate riders thanks to its light weight, manageable power delivery, and forgiving V-twin character.
PurposeIt's built primarily for fun, agile street riding and twisty backroads rather than outright speed or long-distance hauling.
Rider FitThe low seat height and slim, lightweight chassis make it accessible for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe 90-degree V-twin gives a torquey, characterful growl and smooth low-to-mid range punch that rewards spirited but relaxed riding.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting high-speed touring comfort, big passenger accommodation, or serious off-road capability.

2017 Suzuki SV650 Gilles Dealer Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Suzuki SV650 Gilles Dealer Edition, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
