Rider Profile

Best ForA great fit for newer riders or those stepping up from a smaller learner bike who want a manageable, forgiving V-twin platform.
PurposeBest suited to everyday commuting and twisty backroad fun rather than outright speed or long-distance hauling.
Rider FitIts light dry weight and compact diamond frame make it easy to handle for riders of average or smaller stature.
CharacterThe small-capacity V-twin delivers smooth, predictable torque and a friendly, approachable riding experience rather than raw excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking high-speed touring comfort, big highway miles, or serious off-road capability.

2002 Suzuki SV 400 S 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 2002 Suzuki SV 400 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.
