Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience, from confident newcomers to seasoned tourers, thanks to its manageable middleweight V-twin character.
PurposeBuilt as a sport-touring adventure machine, it's designed for covering long distances comfortably with occasional light gravel or unpaved detours.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight around 189 kg make it accessible to riders of average height and build without being intimidating.
CharacterThe 90-degree-style V-twin (0-degree crank configuration) delivers smooth, torquey power delivery with a relaxed, unhurried personality rather than outright thrills.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for riders chasing top-speed thrills or serious off-road technical trails, as its touring focus trades outright performance for comfort and range.

2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Traveller 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 2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650 Traveller, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
