Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders with at least some prior experience, though the manageable power delivery and upright ergonomics make it approachable for newer intermediate riders too.
Purpose	Built as a versatile adventure-touring machine that excels at eating up highway miles while still being capable of light gravel and dirt road excursions.
Rider Fit	The 850mm seat height and 233kg wet weight make it manageable for most average-height riders, though shorter riders may need to tiptoe at a stop.
Character	A torquey V-twin with a relaxed, confident personality that rewards smooth, unhurried riding over aggressive throttle inputs.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking outright sportbike performance or serious technical off-road capability, as its weight and street-biased tires limit both.

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2018 Suzuki V-Strom 1000XT, with a relaxed knee angle of around 140 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).
