Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with at least some prior experience handling a heavy, low-slung cruiser, though its low seat and predictable power make it approachable for confident newer riders too.
Purpose	Built for relaxed boulevard cruising and laid-back highway miles rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider Fit	The low 700mm seat height and low center of gravity make it easy to flat-foot and manage at a stop despite its near-300kg weight, but the heft demands deliberate effort at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
Character	A classic big-V-twin cruiser character with strong low-end torque, a shaft-driven smooth power delivery, and a relaxed, unhurried demeanor.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders chasing sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, or high top-speed thrills.

Units

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

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2001 Suzuki VL 1500 LC Intruder, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
