Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey, sporty V-twin that rewards confident throttle control.
PurposeIt's built as a versatile sport-naked, equally happy carving twisty backroads as commuting through city traffic.
Rider FitA moderate 800mm seat height and manageable 186kg dry weight make it accessible to most rider statures, though the reach to the semi-sporty bars adds some wrist load at low speed.
CharacterThe big V2 engine gives it a characterful, pulsing feel with strong midrange punch rather than a screaming top-end rush.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger.

2006 Suzuki SV 1000 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Suzuki SV 1000 S, 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.
