Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience, from newer intermediate riders to seasoned veterans, thanks to its manageable power delivery and forgiving chassis.
PurposeBuilt primarily for long-distance sport touring with light adventure capability, blending comfort, wind protection, and all-day rideability over outright performance.
Rider FitThe 835mm seat height and moderate 214kg weight make it approachable for riders of average height, though shorter riders may need to tiptoe at a stop.
CharacterA versatile, easygoing V-twin companion that rewards relaxed throttle inputs and steady cornering rather than aggressive sport riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders chasing track-day thrills or serious technical off-road adventure performance.

2013 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS Tourer Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2013 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS Tourer, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
