Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience, though its manageable weight and neutral ergonomics make it approachable for newer intermediate riders too.
PurposeBuilt as a versatile all-rounder that excels at long-distance touring while remaining capable of light gravel roads and daily commuting duties.
Rider FitThe 820mm seat height and adventure-style stance suit riders of average to tall build, with a relaxed upright seating position that's easy on the back and wrists.
CharacterA dependable, unpretentious V-twin traveler that favors smooth, torquey real-world performance over outright speed or aggression.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing sport-bike acceleration, track-day thrills, or serious technical off-road capability.

2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650GT Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650GT, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
