Rider Profile

Best ForWell-suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a versatile, confidence-inspiring machine rather than an outright beginner or track-focused bike.
PurposeDesigned as an adventure-touring all-rounder that blends long-distance comfort with light off-road capability and everyday usability.
Rider FitThe 850mm seat height and 232kg wet weight make it manageable for most adult riders, though shorter riders may need to adapt at a stop.
CharacterA torquey V-twin with relaxed low-end power delivery gives it a composed, confidence-building personality rather than an aggressive, high-revving feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight dirt-focused enduro or a sharp, track-oriented sportbike.

2017 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2017 Suzuki V-Strom 1000, 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). 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.
